I hardly remember anything from OCS except that it was easier than boot camp. Only a couple of months separated these two places for me. I did remember my company commander saying to me, "Wong, forget it, you never make it {to OCS)".
@@KENYANODYSSEY yes- I’m dropping a packing list tomorrow for OCS. I’d suggest bringing your running shoes and you will be issued a pair(use them just for inspections)
Hm. When I chose to be indoc staff for the incoming class of 06-23 I did not foresee somebody making a CZcams video. I remember having to go up to second deck to get you and 2 others to the uniform store because of some uniform issues. Glad you made it Johnson. Love 03-23
What a time that was...thanks for the feedback and class 03-23 helped us so much. iron sharpens iron. I have a few others dropping this week. OCS packing list-for a prior. How to beat the AutoFails and a few others
@@thebaker7872 Best advice ever- we had a major issue a week prior to graduation. I couldn't get outta there fast enough. Now onward and upward. Im in Dive school. RI it was fun
Hi! My board just finished up and we’re due to hear back somewhat soon! Very excited and nervous, but with the mindset that I can make it and I won’t stop until I’m told to. I was wondering if I can get a copy of the book to hopefully start preparing for the future!
Can you make a more centric OCS video in regards to those who know the basics? Like if you’re about to tell a prior enlisted who is going in please? Hopefully I’ll be going in a few months
Great video and advice. Would you be able to provide me a digital copy of the OCR. Just taking your advice and preparing ahead of time. I was recently selected, due to being active duty my date is not set to ship. Although talking to my CO I should be able to leave after 18JUN23. I want to complete the command PFA as the CFL and give the command time to fill my other positions.
Sorry to hear about the coc. I’d suggest speaking with your command career counselor first and doing some research in/on the field and type of officer you like to be.
I am thinking of enlisting in the navy, i have a degree in production but the recruiter told me that i can only apply to be an officer if i have a degree related to a job with officer roles in it. any advice?
No, if you have a degree from an accredited university/college and you take the OAR(the officer version of the ASVAB) based on your score dictates ur job opportunities
I’m waiting on my board results but have a very high chance of selection. I think you graduated with a former Sailor of mine ENS Buchanan (He got selected NFO). Anyways I’d like to know how much boot running you did. I’m ok in Shoes just need to know if I should incorporate boots more, thanks.
What was your college gpa ? Rn I’m a L17A corpsman which gives a lot of free time. I’m slowly working for my bsn. However I have my associates of science and associates of radiological sciences. Did you sta-21 or finish your bachelors first ?
I was a prior hm1, I used my gi bill and graduated. I went through as an OCS candidate, I’ve heard about STA-21 great program. I’d suggest applying for both- drop your package for both
Hi ! So coming from enlisted , How do they do the pay ? Do you make the same amount as you did prior to leaving for school or does it change ? ( If i'm an E-6 with dependents , will i still get E6 pay with dependent BAH ?)
My son is at OCS RI right now, he left 2 weeks ago- he was able to write the first week- question: will he be able to write us back /communicate through snail mail? Another question he called after first Fridayand he said he rolled 3 weeks is that correct? I mean he said his new grad date will be moved 3 weeks after the original date? Also, how will we know the correct will we get a grad invite from the USN, we live in CA so we need to plan ahead.. sorry I have so many questions! Congratulations and more power to u❤️
Yes, great questions. First congratulations on your son, for being accepted into OCS. Yes, unfortunately if you get rolled - he is in (H) Holding company and can get stronger and learn the ropes for classing up. He will be able to continue to write and update you on his progress and new graduation date. If you have any interest or questions, let me know
hi HM1 I am HN now. I am in green side now. I want to become officer in the Navy . would you mind tell me how to apply for OCR requirement ?and is that start at o-1 enlist at first year ? thanks HM1
Hey Hn, congratulations on going greenside. I’m no longer an HM1 ->Ensign Johnson arriving. Sure. Step one is having a college degree from an accredited school. Step two: speak to an officer recruiter and take the OAR(the officer equivalent to the asvab) for job placement
@@evanjohnson4133 thanks sir. Would u mind give me some advise? Which way is most easy between accredited school and C school? And how to apply for accredited. Do I need get SAT. And how many score ?
VBSS is just an NEC. Stands for visit board search and seizure. Anyone can sign up long as they meet the reqs & get permission from their command. But for a reservist …. they usually get very limited seats per class. (When reservists don’t sign up in time, those seats usually get filled by AC or standby’s). If you do go reserves, you have to get orders just for the school, so I’d suggest you go on ADT orders and then request to attend while at that command unless you have a chill/ supportive reserve unit that doesn’t mind sending you on their allotted dime. Ask someone who’s in the navy to get the pre-reqs from CANTRAC to see what they are first. There’s med screening, pt related reqs (Jacob’s Ladder), and a few more if I recall correctly. But as a reservist if you do the bare minimum (2 weeks/year) you’ll never use it. It will literally just be in your training folder. You’d need to be attached to a ship that is deployed or in NSW community.
Appreciate the videos! All the videos I have watched are ages old!
Much appreciated ENSIGN!
Keep them coming!
Yes sir! Knowledge is power and essential for growth
The ptsd in your face when you brought up watchstanding principles lmao, fire video brotha🔥🔥
Let’s go! We started together and ended stronger!
I hardly remember anything from OCS except that it was easier than boot camp. Only a couple of months separated these two places for me. I did remember my company commander saying to me, "Wong, forget it, you never make it {to OCS)".
Some what. But the attention to deal was on a whole new level. Also, people were getting rolled and that didn’t happen in enlisted bootcamp
@@evanjohnson4133 What do you mean by "getting rolled"?
@@howellwong11 if you fail an evolution- you get get a retake and if you fail then you get rolled to the next class
Great video! The next board is in July. I should be leaving soon after that! This was so helpful!
im glad! I have a few other videos that will drop soon" packing list, First friday, fast curse and Officer Personal Inspection
@@evanjohnson4133 I look forward too it. Someone else suggested an extra pair of sneakers strictly for inspection haha is that sound advice?

Yes, myself. I was prior Enlisted and went to OCS at 35years old.

What is the application process for prior enlisted? My chain of command is no help
Sorry to hear about the coc. I’d suggest speaking with your command career counselor first and doing some research in/on the field and type of officer you like to be.
Any chance you could send the me the OCR? I’d like to study up.
What’s your email address
Sent over from NICKYMGTV. What books would you recommend for those to prepare for OCS?
I am thinking of enlisting in the navy, i have a degree in production but the recruiter told me that i can only apply to be an officer if i have a degree related to a job with officer roles in it. any advice?
No, if you have a degree from an accredited university/college and you take the OAR(the officer version of the ASVAB) based on your score dictates ur job opportunities
Ensign! UNITED STATES NAVY
-FC2

Ens Buchanan was a solid guy. We do like 3-5 pt session with boots on. Bit that much at OCS in boots

Yes! If you’re an e6 you keep ur pay and all your benefits. You get the o1e pay upon graduation
So basically this is what the Marine boot camp is
The marines has their own OCS- I can only speak of the Navy OCS experience
Im submitting my package for IP officer do you know the correct email to submit it. And can you send me the OCR please
@@ErickharleinPierre in sure can but you don’t it directly. It must come with your whole OCS package via your military recruiter

@@yinan8601 well a c school is different from an accredited school. C schools are through the navy and it depends on your rate.

Dive school currently
Do unrestricted line officers and restricted line officers go through the same process
Hi could I get a digital copy of the OCR?
Sure email me
How long did it take you to get into that school and is there a certain age
You have to apply and get accepted into Officer training command.
Can you link up the book. I have 2 years before I graduate college. I want to be 150% prepared. Thanks
The ocr- might be changed or updated in two years. But sure
Can I message you for information?
Sure. Message me
What study books you recommend I get?
For OCS- or to join the navy?
