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

LOL One thing for sure -- what ever he does it will be wrong! Darned if ya do and darned if ya don't! Part of the learning process and for when you try but don't please the Commanding Officer.
Nothing like a Marine Drill Instructor to put you through your paces.

OK - direct from Ensign (wanna be) Sam from OCS --- "It would be good to have a good phone card and a home made letter writing kit (plain paper, book of stamps, Legal size envelopes stuck inside a manella envelope), a good iron, pantyhose to shine new shoes for RLP, clear fingernail polish, nice tweezers, tiny scissors, lots of socks, underwear and razor blades." They will need an unused tee shirt and skivvies for their RLP (Room, Locker, and Personnel) Inspections.
Hope you got the right web addee: WWW.OCS.navy.mil/OCS.requiredpaperwork.asp

Sam's class did aeet and greet at local place the night before D Day called The Brick Alley. Nice place and lots of room. I went and so did 2 other Moms. Gave them a good bonding experiance. My wife says there is akins of list on N4Moms but try www.pcs.navy.mil/OCs.requiredpaperwork.asp for better info. Hope I got that right. Also small scissors to cut off IPs - pack do not carry on!!!!!! One extra t shirt that is 1 size smaller than normal. An extra pair NEW running shoes. First pair gets trashed quickly I hear. If I hear more will pass it on.

My deduction from Sam's time there on the major trouble spots was simply the sickness everyone got. Sure there were a few injuries that caused someone to "roll back a class" but according to what he's been able to relay most of the rolls were from sickness. Don't sweat not hearing from him for the first week or so - they aren't allowed to email or phone. But being good sailors (how quick they learn!!) he will figure out a way. The land line connections leave a lot to be desired though.
Sounds like 08-10 will be the CandieOs that will be greeting them and introducing them to the greatest Navy in the world.
Glad you started us and feel free to fire those questions at will!!! Cookie

My son is in OCS Class 07-10 and becomes commissioned Jan 22. Guess who is giving him his first salute. Guess I better remember to bring the hankerchief!
