What should I do to prepare myself for a leadership role before joining OCS?

Semper Fi ¡ Greetings from Mexico City

Thanks man I really appreciate it

Thank you sir for this video. 25 yrs old, weaning off Zoloft for this (its barely been a year since I started) and Im eager to work to meet and go above the standards for OCS.

What are my chances? SAT: 1100 PFT:300 GPA:3.90

Doesn't OCS require a 3.0 gpa?

Mouth breather freaking recording. Otherwise good information, thank you.

errah!

Errrrahhhh

I went to OCS Jan 1990... 220 reported to OCS... we graduated 90. The number one reason in the beginning was physical fitness, the second phase was leadership peer evaluations, the third phase around week 15 was leadership and academic. Good luck, work hard and prepare your body. You can make it through, but you need to prepare for putting your mind, body and soul 100% into it. Midway through I got compartment syndrome of my calves and had to get up an hour early to soak my legs in ice baths before starting the day... remember, between lights out and revelle there are only 6 hours (one of which is usually taken up with fire watch or studying by flashlight for the next day exam). My CO was Col Wesley Fox, Medal of Honor awardee... tough as nails. Semper Fi!

Hello sir, does this video still apply today. Can i do the workout and tag you still?

Are you still an OSO?

My son wants to become a Marine officer, however he broke his arm around 8 months ago. It required surgery and the hardware is to be left in place. Would it be possible to get a waiver for this type of situation?

I was in class 230 and dropped, I believe for leadership. However, I went back and made it. Col Williamson gave me the opportunity to reapply. One thing in my case though is that I got very sick week 4, the winter in Quantico in 2019 was brutal. I caught pneumonia and couldn't recover. So, you can get sick and you are still expected to meet the standard. So if you go to a winter class go with a beefed up immune system. OCS is unforgiving.

What’s the name of the podcast?

Sheeeesh

Hello sir. Are there any tips to become a great leader or have great leadership? I’ve always been a quiet reserve person and somewhat shy but I am confident in leading and opening up. Another question is, do you think it would be a problem who had a speech impediment? I have one since I was 7 but it’s not that bad at all. Sorry for the long comment. Thank you and god bless!!!

Is this offer still available? I am trying to be as prepared as possible.

I know this is late, OSO’s can guarantee a flight contract if you qualify? Is this still valid information?

SO my sons went to OCS tore his meniscus couldn't walk let alone walk it off ,and was sent ordered to medical they sent him home , he quit? Then he came home had surgery done, went back a year later, busted his ankle sent to medical, thye ordered him to medical again they sent him home, he quit? Both times they made him go to medical ordered him to medical, after seeing the doctor he said he was fine they sent him home he quit? The marine corp treated him like crap, no pay, no follow ups, no scheduling his surgery nothing. Brainwash much! And yes I was a marine and so was my dad.

Do you think having a degree in something like Mechanical Engineering makes you a better pilot

Can you extend the experience tour?

For me, OCS was easier than boot camp. I graduated from boot camp and entered OCS two months later. The quality of people who made up your company was the difference.

My son is headed to Pensacola for a marine flight physical. My question is what happens if he washes out for ANY reason once in the marine s or flight school ?

I have tons of questions: 1. 3.4 Crimj Masters Degree. (What are my chances) 2. My Asvab is 35-45 (low I know) 3. I got offered a opportunity to go for it What can I really expect

thanks!

Are there more information on occ on your channel? I never took sat/act,. I scored between 35-40 on asvab. I already completed my advanced degree. it’s not looking too good in my opinion for OCC

Had a buddy of mine that ran track for Ole Miss run a 14:20 three mile run. He was about 5'7" and 160 lbs. He struggled on the humps carrying heavy loads. We helped him along. He had a good career.

thank you!

I think the 119th OCS class which started in February 1982 had one of the highest drop rates.

People coming in have so much useful knowledge to be successful. Question is are they using it. I came in 2000 all I had was a book called BOOT😂 by Daniel Da Cruz

It's time for plan A.

I know this video was put out over 3 years ago. However, I was wondering if you have ever dealt with enlisted applicants from other branches. I am currently an enlisted member of the Army National guard (blackhawk mechanic), high pt scores (560, I know army pt tests are different), and decent college gpa (3.2). I am looking to get an air contract being as I already have my private pilot license and will have a degree in aeronautics.

How long should a male aim to hold a plank under to be ok under the new standard for plank?

I hope there’s a fucking hurricane

I am graduating in december of 23, but planning a big europe trip for most of the spring until march, when should I start to talk to the oso that is close to me? and is me going on vacation going to hinder anything for me. I am physically fit. thanks again

Running is the one thing i struggle with. I can max the plank and max the pull ups but i run a 22 minute 3 mile and I’m worried about losing strength vs speed

For air .. is it only 7599 MOS under this option? What about other air-type roles: 6002, 6602, 72XX, 7315.. are these part of the air contract, or "ground"?

I was a PLC Combined graduate in summer of 87’. Let me sum up what he’s saying far more quickly: failure at OCS begins with even recognizing the word “failure.”

I thought most Marine Corps commissions were through Naval Academy.

he went home 3 hours later for rolling his eyes? That's a crock ...

What if I’m working on my weight and not yet physically qualified? Should I still talk to an OSO asap?

I was the oldest to graduate my company and go straight through to TBS, turned 32 a month after commissioning. Can't imagine doing it 10 years older.

The Marine Corps wants to weed out the weak of mind and is satisfied with the long term wash out rate. If somebody doesn't have the ability to reach down and keep going, then they deserve not to commission. You can't train for the reality of OCS and that's the way it's supposed to be.

Thank you

Where were you 20 years ago 😫

some of these ppl dont look like candidates

They should really make the age limit higher, especially on the officer side. 35 is not that old. If the branches are having trouble meeting recruitment goals, easing up on the age limit would open the doors to a broader range of candidates that night be a good fit but were not able to join at a younger age for whatever reason. Raise the limit to 39. That way you can still put in your 20 years before hitting 60.

They took out the 12 mile hike?

Since the pilot pipeline is very long. Can your spouse come with you to pilot training?
