Hooyah, MollyLoveBlue. GenOff recruiter here. Great info. I'll share this with all my selected applicants for them to prepare. Great vid!
@@ChiefBrandini thanks! Hope it helps them prepare!
Hi! Firstly thank you so much for your videos 🙏 I was wondering if they will let me bring in skincare items and 4 rollers for my hair, I have really frizzy curly hair so I use those after washing my hair to tame it
@priscillaadriana2079 for skincare, just call it hygiene and you'll probably be okay, but it honestly depends on your class officer, so they might not let you take it out until Candio phase. For hair rollers, you'll probably not be allowed to use them until Candio phase. Your hair will be in a tight bun all the time anyway.
16 but hoping to get into OCS and become a Catapult officer when I'm old enough!
I remember the tower back in Class 42, May 1959: There was a regular navy PO 2 or 1 who couldn't jump from the tower. Eventually the instructor climbed up behind him and pushed him off. One of the funny times at Newport. My favorite was the Buttercup---which my group actually saved. B Newman, LT(USNR, ret)
Thanks for sharing!
what is the application process like for OCS? What types of documents do they need (I assume transcripts and letters of recommendation)? Is the process very selective? Or if I apply do I have a relatively high chance of acceptance?
To apply for OCS, you'll need to first decide on a designator. Prospective naval officers apply for a specific job, and only if they're selected do they go to OCS. Your application will be a full package to include transcripts, letters of recommendation, and your OAR or ASTB-E score (depending on which designator you're applying to). You'll also have to write a personal statement that is tailored to your designator of choice. You may apply for multiple designators, but you'll have to do a full package for each one. Look up the different types of officers, talk to people in the community you want to join, and then work with your recruiter. Different designators will have different levels of competition.
I don’t know how to do push ups are girls required to do push ups
Everyone does pushups, shipmate! 😂
Thanks
Happy to help!
These videos are great! Thank you so much for posting them. I am the grandmother of a candidate in the 12-24 class and watching your videos makes so much sense to me! My granddaughter is particularly precious to me and I am very proud of her for doing this program and becoming a Navy officer. Thank you again for these videos!
Of course! Happy to help
This is great! I am a Grandmother of a OCS in training right now. Thank you for sharing, really helps!
Happy to help!
Curious did you know or see anybody that had a CPAP at OCS?? I’m applying and I’m not disqualified for having it so I just wanted to know if anyone has had experience with people having it there.
I personally didn't know of anyone with that while at OCS
Aw! Awesome song and well performed.
Will someone who attended OCS send me their email address i have questions im currently in A school and would love to go the officer route since im qualified thank you 😊
Your memory is superb
Also, I see some of your replies you've said to not go ahead and buy everything and wait until I can get into the NEX. Say I did buy most of this stuff already, should I go ahead and bring it? Or bite the bullet and wait
another thing ive seen is that people mail themselves some of their things? do you recommend that? Sorry for the questions! this is just the first platform ive seen genuine responses
What's going to happen is you'll have to show all of your stuff to your candios and they may or may not allow you to bring it in with you. If they don't, it'll go on your Candio bag and you won't get it until the final phase of training.
@onyxmagno827 that's definitely an option, but might be expensive!
I go this march! Its refreshing to see this from another woman's perspective. Thank you for the tips, and do you know if we can arrive to OCS on the check in date with makeup on? Ill be driving up with my mom and plan to do a last breakfast with her, and shes a facebook mom so theres going to be lots of pictures
Congratulations! I recommend going ahead and wearing the makeup so you can do pictures with your mom, but just know that you'll not really have time to shower the first day you get in, so I recommend bringing makeup removal wipes and getting the makeup off at the gym on base before you run up to meet your candios
Im a third class swimmer from navy bootcamp would i need to swim again at OCS?
Yes, you must re qualify as an officer
@@Mollyloveblue wow alright it should be a breeze since I know what to expect. Thank you hun. I plan on going the officer route.
@@Mollyloveblue hey what's your email?
@@Mollyloveblue what's your email?
Relax, my heart rate and bp were high because I was so stressed. (for no reason). Do the best you can on the vision and hearing stuff. Be honest. and above all else, be polite! Be polite to all workers, from the security line to the folks running the desk at meps. They know what they are doing and you may find yourself needing a question answered by them. Yes, the medical 1 on 1 with the doctor is awkward, do what he/she says, they've seen plenty of jiggly bits in their career, they don't care at all. Show up hydrated, good nights sleep and you will be fine. Edit: if you are going as an Officer Candidate, things are a bit different, as in they direct you to different areas and ask you different things and every so often you will hear "Oh! You want to be an officer, okay we are doing this instead" go with the flow, let them know if they are confused as to why your forms are different.
Excellent advice!
Mine wouldn’t even marry me until he left military bought all his properties and spent his money on the properties and anything expensive. He left me ☺️ because he ruined my image with his friends and his bestfriend was uncomfortable with moving into the house he and I bought for our family. Even though I did everything he wanted. Just because I did drugs once and he had no trust in me I took care of him the whole house our neighbors my self his family and I had a job. Several hobbies and I wanted nothing but to make him happy. I did it. And only because I wanted him to have better things than to have the idea that to keep his own life pleasant that you have to abandon and destroy what you built with someone to make a life worth living removing the pain of a person who is your partner because that makes me an opp. Because a partner has less interest in your life happiness and pleasure than a person who wants to sleep with you or the people around you that want to steal your happiness or your money and even less than that. They want from you because they are nothing but a financial burden to you even though they support themselves financially and your entire existence is based on how much they want to give you for your life to be so amazing.
My sub boy left me because he’s a little bitch. 🥸
What is your rate?
Hello! For privacy reasons, I don't tell strangers online my designator.
@@Mollyloveblue Understandable. I just ask cause I’m wondering if SWO is as bad as people say.
This is the most thorough series thank you so much Ma’am! 🫡
Happy to support!
Are you still in the USN? What is your job?
Yes, I'm still in! For privacy reasons, I don't share my specific job or where I'm stationed.
I'm about to start building my package for OCS and am currently an AZ3. For some reason I have an irrational fear of vomiting, is this something I will have to face in OCS?
I puked twice in a sand pit once. Lots of people have vomited on runs or during evolutions. If you puke, you puke. They won't stop training for it unless there's blood in it. And they'll yell at you if you get it on the artificial turf.
Is it possible to bring vitamins to OCS? Thanks for the awesome videos!
Of course-- happy people get some value out of them! You are authorized 1 daily multivitamin, that's it. You have to clear it with your class team, too!
@@Mollyloveblue Wow, so strict! I guess i should've expected that hah. Thanks so much for giving me a heads up. Hope to catch u on your future videos. :)
If there are certain things I attempt to memorize from Appendix Bravo, or if there are certain things I’m not quite at the standard I would like to be by the time I go to OCS, should I be super panicked? I am applying here within the next couple of weeks once I get my physical done at MEPS and get a waiver or two taken care of that I need, and I’m finishing my masters this coming summer, so I wont even ship out for OCS until August 2024 at the earliest. I’m working on getting physically prepared and learning the knowledge, but I have a massive paranoia that I will still be underprepared when I go. I mean, I know RDCs yell and put you on your face, but when it comes down to it, is there forgiveness for a learning curve during this process?
You don't need to be super panicked. It does sound like you have a lot of time between now and when you expect to leave. Remember, a little bit of studying here and now will help you in the long run. There is, of course, a learning curve to it, but just put in a small amount of effort each day and you'll be ready when you go!
I’m prior enlisted and not even I know that stuff. Make sure you are IN SHAPE that’s the main thing. Exceed the minimum requirements. The rest you will figure out as you go.
I was wondering where you went. I wanted to thank you for these videos. My son is now a Mustang. He made chief in 2021 and was selected for OCS 2 weeks after his pinning. I told him to watch your videos and they were very helpful, especially the socks! He was commissioned June 10, 2022.
I'm glad to hear he got some value out of my videos! Thank you for expressing your gratitude!
this is too much information. this sounds like coming from a DROP OUT regardless of reason. This also sounds like a way to find excuses. She is clearly putting the cart before the horse. This is not like the Army Ranger 2 USMA graduates that got rolled through multiple times. Get it right the first time and not deal with it anymore. Retired (1983-2013).
Hey, if 13 and a half minutes is too long for you, you don't have to watch.
Hi Molly, is it possible to get a chit to wear shin compression if prone to getting shin splints? Is it ok to ask the medical team or is that a big no no? Otherwise, pretty sure my son will be out with them very early.
It doesn't hurt to ask! You might not get the answer you want, but just asking for it with a chit shouldn't hurt.
Thanks so much for all your great videos and advice. What do you think is the most common reason people DOR and at what stage does it happen the most? What is the average % who DOR out of OCS - are those stats anywhere they can be found?
Hello! Of course, happy to have made videos that help! To answer your other questions, anecdotally, most people who DO DOR do it during INDOC. It really is the filter. There are some special cases I've heard of where someone DOR'd on graduation day, because they never actually intended to become commissioned, they just wanted to prove to someone that they could. Wild, but it happened. For statistics, you have to know someone in the chain of command for OCS who has those, the hard and true spreadsheets aren't publicly available, but if you're in the right forum and ask the right questions and the right person is around, someone might leak them to you. I got my hands on one before I went to OCS and saw all kinds of things, but it ultimately didn't help or hurt me in any way. It's not a big deal if you can't get it. Just do your best!
Can you get rolled for failing class examinations?
Yes! If you fail an exam, you get a makeup exam of a different version, and if you fail that, you'll roll into the next class.
You don't get a retake now. You roll after the first failure
@@Icycomb Thank you for the update! That's good to know that there are currently no makeups.
I’m sorry, but how do you forget about a Jaguar attacking you 😂
😅😅😅 It happened a long time ago and I haven't really talked to anyone about it in forever 🙃
This is really really helpful thank you
Happy to help!
MMMCS(SS) Ret. Here. Bless you. I didn't get married until I was on my 4th boat, in 11 years & a senior 1st Class. My Bride is myrock.

12:40 Did he say that in a sarcastic tone or serious?
I am confident that was a sarcastic tone lmao
Why the sepia filter on this video? I appreciate the information you dilineate, but It's distracting to have that film grain and yellow filter.
Thank you for this video. I am thinking of joining as a therapist. I’ve been in contact with a recruiter stating that I’d have to attend OCS however it would be 5 weeks? I’m trying to find videos on it but have come up short. Any guidance would be very helpful. Thank you again!
That's ODS, officer development school
Affectionately known as Knife and Fork school.
I just finished boot camp in San Diego and within 2 months, I was at OCS Newport. OCS was easier than boot camp for me.
That is a very interesting timeline. What 'boot camp' did you attend, BUD/S?
@@Mollyloveblue My first day at San Diego boot camp was Feb 12, 1956. I was commissioned on Oct 10, 1956 at Newport.
Idiotic question,but do they allow you to use a Apple watch? I use it for pacing.
You won't be allowed to use any sort of watch or communications device until you're a Candio, with a few exceptions. If you're class leader that day, you'll be given a watch to use. If you're class 'CO' or 'XO' you will have your phone to talk to your class team. But neither exception allows for an apple watch.
Young lady, great video. It is a great comfort knowing my Navy was able to obtain your service. And I thank you for your service. I retired in 1995 after a little more than 20 years active service. I graduated OCS in September 1980, LIMA Company, entering with 5 years prior enlisted US Navy service. Thank you for taking your time to help others who are either considering Naval service as a commissioned officer or are waiting their class start date. My two cents of advice to add onto what you thoroughly covered is One: Not everyone is cut out for this life. Don't condemn yourself if you just don't fit in. Realize it's not your calling if you can't fit in. I had a dear friend and classmate who was both highly intelligent and super physically fit who dropped out after 10 weeks. He is probably a millionaire today, because he said, "there's no way I am going to subject myself to this insane life for peanuts." 2. Remember all the insanity they put you through comes down to DISCIPLINE. A high level of discipline to mentally and physically prepare you for what you will face when you walk out into the fleet. I can't tell you how many times during those arduous cold war submarine patrols I had to "go beyond" myself and what I thought was my limit. Be Strong. For those who are called to the US Navy - it is the greatest professional experience you will ever know.
Thank you for the great advice, and thank you for your service!
Molly, I'm with the best Interest for my son who has been with some decent athletic success. He's a three time NCAA Wrestling Champion and MMA with a couple of victories fighting for UFC. At the moment he is in Colorado Springs representing the USA Wrestling team for training bids for the upcoming International World Games in the quest for possible Olympic bids. My question is how should he deal with possible scrutiny and whether he will be prone to such because of his background. He has a college fraternity tattoo that I warned him against. Should he have it removed by dermabrasion? He graduated with a degree in Engineering (Aeronautical) with a minor in Physics this past December too and just turned 23 and definitely is hoping to attend BUDS as soon as possible.
As long as the tattoo is within regulations, he shouldn't have any issues with it. He's not going to deal with any more hardship than anyone else at OCS. BUD/S, however, will certainly be much more challenging than anything any OCS folks have endured. If he makes it through BUD/S, he'll have the easiest time at OCS. While at BUD/S, I would encourage him to not announce all of his achievements until maybe the last phase--when they've already endured all of the physically much more hellish phases (e.g.; INDOC/boat teams/catching the truck/hell week/freezing their butts off/etc. and the 'underwater' portion), and even after they make it through all of the academics. I would have him wait to talk about his experiences until he's pretty much a guarantee to graduate, because otherwise, he'll just be another guy with a great story who was just another 'buds dud'. It's much cooler if he gets through it and THEN can talk about his civilian achievements. Otherwise, it will be a case of 'Even an MMA fighter/UFC champion couldn't make it through!'
what is ur job in the navy? I am considering on comissioning and my recruiter adviced me to be a SWO and said that it is on demand and that's the fastest way to comission since there's abut 70% acceptance rate for SWO.
I don't discuss my specific designator, for privacy reasons, but I can tell you that there's a lot more to which job is the best to apply for, and it's more than which one has the highest acceptance rate. Quality of life, for one. And if your recruiter says you can always lat-transfer later, just know you can't lat-transfer from the SWO community until you get your pin. Which can take some people their entire first tour. No shame to anyone who likes the SWO community, or who stays in it, but just food for thought.
@@Mollyloveblue Thank you! what communities do you advice on checking out?. I am a Exercise Science graduate which is in health science but I also want to be a physical therapist in the future after the navy. Also what study materials did you use for OAR?
@@chrisaaronn if you're interested in health/exercise/sports science, I would recommend you talk to your recruiter about ODS and see what sort of options you have. There are some programs where you commission upon completion of certain graduate degree programs. You would go through a 5 week program instead of a 13 week one.
@@Mollyloveblue And most of them are commissioned as O3s.
Did u go into swo? Do u like it
I had the best instructors of my life at OCS and most of them were full lieutenants. Circa 1956.
Ah yes, as opposed to those pesky Lieutenant Lower Half types 😜 My class team consisted of a LT, two drill instructors (a MSgt and a SSgt), and a senior chief as our RDC. Thank you for your service!
I have a question for a friend: She has a college degree in Biology as a major, Chemistry minor. She was scouted and offered to take medical school for the Navy. She’s curious as to whether or not she should take it, She specializes in gynecology and wanted to know more. I know this probably doesn’t have much to do with OCS but since she has the college under her belt i felt it necessary to ask. Is there anything you can provide that’d help?
I actually know someone whose mom did that--and eventually when she got out, she had her own OB-GYN practice in San Diego! Do you have specific questions about the process? With regards to OCS, if she's scouted to join, she'll actually commission, then go to Officer Development School (ODS) instead of OCS, which is 5 weeks instead of 13. They are at the same station as OCS, in Newport, RI.
How does picking a community work before shipping for navy ocs? I’m prior enlisted army and for us if you went to ocs you weren’t getting your community (branch for army) until near the end of ocs. I’m interested in going to navy ocs in the next 2-3 years finally after taking the long way through life in my 20’s (currently 26, 27 in august) and I’m leaning towards eod or intel or crypto warfare (current comp sci major and I do a lot of machine learning/AI work and I’m planning on getting my masters in that soon after I finish my bachelors)
So fun fact! When joining the Navy as an officer, you actually apply to the designator you'd like, and if you're selected by a board of community representatives for that designator, you get to go to OCS as that! If they don't select you, then you can re-apply under the same designator, a related designator, or go for an entirely different community. For example, there's the aviation community, the information warfare community, etc. If you're interested in Intel or Crypto, but you're interested in some sort of offensive or defensive cyber, then there's a new cyber designator beginning THIS YEAR. There's a NAVADMIN that went out about it. They even have a pilot program to send newly commissioned Ensigns through the ION program, which was previously reserved for only enlisted CTNs who are going to be operators for cyber effects. See how the program evolves over the next 2-3 years, and if it's something you're interested in, then talk to your recruiter about it. Best of luck!
Are these 1.5 mile runs and 3milers on the road? Or track
On the road, before the sunrise, if you're there anytime other than sooner. So you'll want to be extra careful and look out for pot holes!
@@Mollyloveblue okay great thank you! I just got selected I ship in June, I went through boot camp about a 2 years ago so I have most of appendix b down but just struggling with some of the other ones. I’m very excited but super nervous because I have been through something similar, but as what I’ve been told and seen it’s more challenging just with same premise as boot camp though
@@devontemitchell2759 congratulations on getting selected! Keep up the studying!
Hey there good looking 🥰
Just wanted to thank you for your videos. They have really helping me mentally prepare for ocs and calmed some of my nerves!
Happy to help!
