Just be prepared to the best if your ability. Most people fail because they are not physically prepared and roll into H class during the initial strength test or welcome aboard. You will be tired and worn out during the first week so if you barely meet the minimum before you arrive, chances are that you will roll. Others are not mentally ready for the stress. Just remember it is not real, it is all manufactured and will be over quickly. The whole 12 weeks are not like the first week.

Can you roll so many times they kick you out? What happens if you roll too much?

Technically yes, they can. If you roll a few times, they have some sort of review board to decide whether you stay or not, but you'd pretty much have to be legit injured to spend that much time in H-Class (or Med Hold, more likely). All you have to do to get out of H is pass the IST with the minimum PFA standards, which is not much. So when you're basically working out for three weeks straight, most people will get up to that standard by then. Most people don't have to worry about this, but if you can't make a satisfactory on the PFA when you're going in, you just really need to focus on bringing up your numbers. Also, you need a Good on the PFA during candio phase, so if you can do at least that before checking in to OCS, you don't really have to worry about H-Class.

What did you bring with you to OTCN? Obviously, what is on the OCS website, but did you grab anything else? How were the sleeping quarters? Anything about the overall experience you would focus on more if you had to do it all over again?

As far as I know you don't get orders you just get your final selection letter.

You get both. The FINSEL is basically a letter that says "Congrats on getting accepted into Pilot/NFO/SWO/etc program, you'll be joining the March 10th class at OCS," and the orders come after that, saying "report NLT 0900 10MAR2013." Not sure what they look like for priors (whether they look like the regular orders that show up on BOL), but the orders I got to OCS did not look like the orders I got to API and Primary, but they very clearly said ORDERS at the top and had an ORIGINAL stamp on it too.

Yeah, the orders to report to OCS. I'm non-prior, so still waiting for mine.

James,

Did you get your FINSEL and sit with your OR to sign your contract? I got my orders from my OR after we signed acknowledgment paperwork and my contract.

Yeah. I did that two weeks ago at NRC. Haven't got anything yet.
