I figured it was that channel when you mentioned "her". I guess I simplified what she said about the IST to mean you must pass it or you roll (over two chances). So yeah, you get another shot if you fail the first time but if you fail it the second time you're rolling.

yeah I think that’s where they were saying you are going to do a bunch of extra PT between your attempts.
Ah ok, there's where I chimed in and said the first IST is on Tuesday. I assumed based on my USAF BMT experience that the second shot at the IST comes the next day or maybe two days later at most. If they really give you a bunch of extra PT time/days that's nice, but that's not my experience with additional chances in a basic training type of environment with people who failed portions of the test. Your extra shot is usually within the next day or two at most.

Yeah that would make sense. I mean it would really suck if you had to get after for a couple weeks and try again more fatigued later. Another thing for everyone is if you barely pass, that will put a target on your back for the rest of OCS. The less attention you can draw to yourself the better.
TL;DR be prepared to score at minimum Sat medium under any circumstances. Do you agree @Ghost SWO?
How exactly is our PFA graded? I understand if you’re at a certain time/number, you’re graded tha (Satisfactory Medium for example) but there are three events. Do they take the average? In the Marines, our total points added to 300and based the point range you fell, you’d be classified as having either a 1st Class PFT, 2nd or 3rd.
Right, the initial will be Sat Medium. I thought her channel later talked about all three PRT's where she said there was the Sat Med, Sat High and finally Good Low minimums for Phase 1, 2, and 3 respectively.
Overall score is category-level performance corresponding to the average of points accumulated on PRT events. Members must pass all three PRT events to receive an overall score.

you don't want to be the officer always in the back or the chubby officer, of course sometimes you get lucky like my old DIVO who was on and off fat boy program a few times, one of the last to cross the line on the run and we worried he would he would have a heart attack at the end. He did 8 active went reserve, and last I heard had made O-5 and had been the CO of a reserve unit.
Coming to work and dealing with everyone's bs is tough now. My patience is really starting to show...sorry interns lmao

Wanted to update you guys! I have an OCS date of March 28 (leaving March 14 for two weeks of ROM), but I haven't received my FINSEL yet! I'm sweating bullets and on edge. Hopefully, I get it by noon and be able to celebrate with you all.
Wow, thats fast!

You'll get plenty of practice, trust me. I went through in the dead of winter where PT was minimal and the DI beatings were restricted to what could be done indoors due to the cold weather and snow...Still went from a 11:15 to 9:05 run time. They'll make sure you'll pass.

SNA! I asked to do the immediate fill thing and had to give a handwritten statement stating that I want to leave immediately if possible. The next day I got the call saying that there was a last female spot for OCS on March 28!
