Hope this is the first thread for this class. Just a place for all to go for questions/info as we go through this experience. Seems as if some of the class was able to make calls yesterday (8/29). Maybe F Company? Nothing from Ted in E Company…Continue

@southMSDad,
Aloha!
I do not know of a specific group, but I do know there are many Facebook groups for the OCS classes. You are welcome to join an earlier class to gain information, then search for your specific class by class number to join. ex: "

Best wishes to your candidate and remember to write letters every day on INDOC and if they get rolled to "H CLASS"! Mail call is the highlight of every evening.
Regards,
Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a group for OCS dads for the class beginning on 12/15/19?
thanks,

Joseph -- When my son went (two years ago) he arranged his own flights and got reimbursed later. But as I recall he was reimbursed a standard rate (from his home base to Newport) irrespective of his actual spend. I believe he was able to find out that amount ahead of time by talking to his recruiting office. These things change though so I hope I have not given you outdated info.
Hello everyone! A dad posed this question tonight, and if anyone can give us any insight, we would appreciate it.
"My son will be attending OCS. Does he arrange his own flight to Newport, and get reimbursed?"
Aloha!
We have FaceBook support OCS groups going! If your candidate has rolled or in H, please join the group they started with and the group they will roll into. Best Wishes!

Thank you so much, Chris. Appreciate your input. All best, Peter ADAM
Navy Lodge North Island is fantastic. One the beach and across the street from the runway (not noisy IRRC). Should be very reasonable. Your son should be able to book you a room. I just looked at their website-- $131 plus tax.
My son recently graduated from OCS Newport RI. He's now in San Diego advanced training. I'm planning on going out there to see him. Any ideas about a decent hotel/motel. Clean/budget priced. Located near downtown. Thanks Peter ADAM
