Day Two of Navy Officer Candidate School

Survivors Guide to Officer Candidate School

"Day Two" of Navy OCS

("Day Two" - Monday) You will spend the majority of today at hospital for a physical evaluation. Take advantage of the time to study gouge, more importantly, however, take the time to relax. The day is relatively easy if you keep your head in the game and recognize what is going on around you. Until you complete your physical evaluation and in-PRT, nobody can make you do any physical activity. However, make sure you regain your military bearing and be locked on when you leave the clinic because it is likely that your Class Drill Instructor will be watching.

Today is also the day to begin paying close attention to the procedures at chow hall. Once you have met your drill instructor one of his primary concerns will be your adherence to chow hall procedures. If your class knows these well you will be more likely to escape very difficult RPT sessions right before you eat. The class cannot do RPT within 30 minutes of eating.

OCS Haircuts:

At around 1700, your class will receive haircuts. Males will lose all their hair and females will be cut to less than 3 inches, depending on the drill instructor. No matter how short your hair is when you arrive, you will still receive a haircut today.

Before hitting your rack tonight it may be advisable to do a short set of push-ups and curl-ups to remind yourself of proper form and to briefly loosen up the muscles. Do not try to max out tonight, just make sure your form is good and that you are good and loose before bed.
