Also does the navy use another term for platoon, company, etc... What about a Guide, Squad Leader, etc..

A guide and squad leaders will be appointed by your drill instructor. The term "class" is most often used, but you'll hear platoon too. There are battallions, not companies. Both battallions together make the regiment, which is a term you'll probably only hear when doing the graduation parade: "Regiment forward!" "Pass the regiment in review."

I've seen the OCS video at the OSO's office, but does anyone know where I can view it online or download it?

I burned a copy from the EPSQ cd's That i got from my recruiter. I cant get it too save to my pc though. maybe a recruiter will burn you a copy
 
NAVSUP,

Can you burn me a copy? I will pay for postage and a CD. I asked my recruiter once, he told me he couldn't get it to work... didn't have a burner.
 
Yeah, but who could forget the "ROCK". That had to be the scariest man on the face of the whole d@mn planet.

(DI) What is that on your shirt?
(OC) AN IP SIR!
(DI) And how did it get there?
(OC) SIR, THIS CANDIDATE BELIEVES THAT DUE TO GRAVITY AND THE ROTATION OF THE EARTH ON ITS AXIS IN CONJUNCTION WITH LOW BAROMETRIC PRESSURE AND HIGH RELATIVE HUMIDITY THE IP WORKED ITS WAY OUT OF THE SEAM SIR!!!
(DI) What did you just say?
(OC) Starts to repeat...
(DI) STOPPPPP! DI then gathers the other inspecting DI's
(DI) YOU WHO. Tell them that trash you just told me..

That had to be the funniest thing I heard in my whole life. The OC quote may be off just a tad, but you get the point. I couldnt believe that a guy could come up with crap that quick and in that (RLP) situation. Unreal.
 
I also have the privilidge of Gunnery Sergeant Murphy as my drill instructor. Gunnery Sergeant Hanson and Gunnery Sergeant Watson are still on deck as well as Master Gunnery Sergeant Altman. I do believe however that Gunnery Sergeant Fowler is in the running for scariest DI now. And I have to agree... the academic portion does take alot of time out of the day that could be spent better either doing PT or drill.
 
Navy Vs. Marine OCS

This is probably a stupid question, but what are the most significant differences between the PT elements of Navy and Marine OCS? Is Navy OCS known for being easier physically than Marine OCS? How do they match up? I hear about guys going into Marine OCS already running 18 minute 3 miles and still getting F'd up at OCS. If it's the same for the Navy, I might be in for more than I thought.
 
Check out your average Sailor.
Check out your average Marine.

That is the difference between Navy PT and Marine PT.

As for OCS - I'll leave that to those more experienced ;)
 
Two total different missions. Marine OCS is desinged to screen individuals to become provisional rifle platoon commanders (basic infantry). Navy OCS is desinged to screen for something a lot different.
 
Navy OCS is a joke. Pure and simple. I doubt they've made any improvements in the last several years... for crying out loud, we're allowed to use the ellyptical machine for the PRT in my command now. I am no rock star athlete, but even I think that the Navy's standards (and PT in OCS) are weak. I'm sure the Marine Gunnies (at Navy OCS) wish it was tougher.
 
As for the "joke" that is Navy OCS Pt... it's not that much of a joke... but it's no training to be a world-class athlete. It's a good workout every morning... nothing more, nothing less.
 
I'm with Kmac on this one..

Besides morning PT, which was not all that long or bad, the only real excercise other wise was the random beatdowns for stupidity..

Aside from a certain Saturday....

There were maybe 3 or 4 rough runs at OCS in 13 weeks. I think they were more rough due to a combo of Freak Humidity and being extremely hung over.

I think the eliptical is a good option for those with knee problems or other issues. The way I have seen it treated is you have to have a "Reason" to do it.

Only at Navy OCS can that be an excuse...or can you go out drinking at Marine OCS too?
