Marine Corp OCS

[Annonymous]

I just finished reading One Bullet Away by Nathaniel Fick. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend it.

I realize you're going in January. I was referring to the fact that there's a new chow hall on the same side of the tracks as the rest of Brown Field as of a few years ago. Candidates don't have to cross "that f#$%ing bridge" to go to chow anymore, so be thankful you won't have to do it when it's colder than you know what outside.

AFAIK it's still there... they just won't be route stepping while counting down the number of remaining times they have to cross it.

Lucky me. When did you graduate OCS?

Thanks for the info guys. This is what I want to do and I will live up to the expectations of a Marine Corp Officer.

Get it right, it is not Corp it is Corps.

Get out of here, the chow hall's on the same side of the tracks?? What's the Corps come to, getting all soft and ****.

When did they build that? I was at OCS 200 in January 2009 and we always crossed the damn bridge...

Nothing like putting two Marines together and finding out who had it tougher

Oh and whoever mentioned Quantico in January, he is absolutely right. The only way you could be more cold and miserable would be if you were at BUD/S.

Not sure what TBS class you'll be in but be prepared for frequent power outages in the quarters with even the slightest rain or snowstorm

I went to OCS over the summer. Tore up my knee pretty bad so I didn't graduate

Get ready for 2-3 hours a night of sleep, constant work, and a lot of yelling from the Sgt Instructors.

peanut - we crossed the bridge as well - Summer 09
