Thanks for the info fellas.

I wouldn't purchase new running shoes. I'm from 13-05 and we were required to wear our issued/"purchased from Judy's" running shoes. Congrats to all of you and be glad that you're going to Pensacola. If you've got to get your ass beat there's no place like the birthplace of naval aviation. There's a lot of history there and it's pretty freakin' cool to have your own personal airshows courtesy of the blue angels. Memorizing the big four verbatim and I emphasize VERBATIM is essential before you go. The hardest thing about OCS is the lack of sleep. Not counting the Candio phase where I slept like a baby, I probably averaged 3 hours per night. RLP weeks I averaged 1-2 hours. Don't waste ocs sleep time trying to memorize that crap.

Day before OCS

Well I just found out about this website, and I was wondering if anybody was gonna meet up the day or night before we start. I'm sure everybody has a little valuable info, I got a little from a body who just went thru OCS. Holler back.

First I'd like to say thanks to everyone on airwarriors for the great advice and experiences shared that have helped in making my decision to pursue SNA.
I finally registered, because I hope someone will point me to the "fundamental 4" that are so important. What are these?

1- Hookers

2- Blow

3- Alcohol

4- Per Diem (which gets 1-3)

Did I miss any?

I am arriving by air. Where is the best place to stay the night before check-in?

A good bar

Congrats to all of you. Enjoy the time in P-Cola. Work hard, study hard. I don't know how selections work today, but for a long time the only guarantee went to the person who finished first. Let it be you.

Welcome aboard!

Can you be more specific about what you mean by fundamental 4? There's lots of "big 4" type things it could be, so help us narrow it down.

what are you guys doing to prepare for OCS other than workin out and memorizing the "fundemental 4"

This is what I was referring to when I asked. And I made a mistake in announcing myself... I am applying for SNA, not SNFO.

Referring to the "Big 3" that are in the OCS prep book - orders of a sentry, chain of command, and code of conduct. You will also need navy and marine ranks, but those aren't considered part of the recommended gouge to have memorized before arriving. Then there will be MUCH more to go after that, but those are where to start. Good luck!
