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

My son is in class 14-17.  I have read that they don't have PIR anymore.  We haven't heard anything for his class either.  Fingers crossed that they do have it.  Our candidates work so hard, would love to see it.  Congrats on everyone passing RLP!

Comment by Bart Broadman on July 25, 2017 at 8:53am

Got it, thanks.  I haven't heard anything on the PIR date yet, but will post here if i do.  I am keen to find out as organizing a Singapore to Newport trip is going to take a bit of work.  But wouldn't miss it for anything!

Comment by JOSEPH HICKEY on July 25, 2017 at 8:47am

Bart- According to my son, all future OCS classes will be 10 weeks long, not 12. Hear anything about PIR date?

Comment by Bart Broadman on July 25, 2017 at 8:37am

Joseph -- Thanks for sharing that -- my son is also in 16-17.  We live abroad so he wasn't able to call us (he dropped us a short email).  So any updates from other class 16-17 parents are much appreciated.

One question -- what does it mean when you say "Classes will be 10 weeks after his?"

Thanks.

Comment by JOSEPH HICKEY on July 25, 2017 at 8:07am

My O/C tells me the entire class 16-17 passed their RLP!

Also that classes will be 10 weeks after his.

They are getting the new Type III uniforms.

not a problem---I've had that up there for a few months now in the hopes of making it easier for all to access those photos.

you do see this direct page to links right Karen?

Hi Mike, congrats to your daughter. My daughter just graduated from OCS Dec 2 class 03-17G. Yes they can write but they are so busy they don't have much time to write. However, my daughter told me how much she appreciated letters from us. If you have not yet done so read the above link on this site for Survivors guide to Navy OCS. It is pretty accurate for what they are going through. One of things that also help me from a parents stand point was the closed group in Facebook that one of the parents started. It really helped me a lot sharing information and worries with some of the parents of the candidates. Also on Facebook on The Officer Training Command Facebook Newport page they post pictures almost every week of your daughters class as they progress through their training. They have a pre graduation ceremony the night before called Hi Moms which was very nice and yes you and your wife attend. It was lovely. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Hope this helps and go luck to your daughter.

Mike the weather dictates the clothing. If she has down time for a holiday, she should be able to communicate with you. Candidates can invite guests to graduation. There is a pre-grad party the day before at the O club. All these details will be relayed to you later. Congrats on your daughter being selected. Usually, no news is good at this point.
