A Word on OCS (as of 2 DEC 16)

[TheIronMike]

Rolling has definitely become more common at OCS. Before I graduated, we had a class have about 17 roll for the IST. DORs are pretty common too, especially within the first week before First Friday. Non-priors and priors.

Congrats man! Happy new year!

Are you asking what rolling is?

Well...if you put it like that.

Hey...that looks like Cheech.

No one that ever said “DOR” appeared back in any class. They were sent to G Company and usually gone within 2 or 3 days. The word matches the reality.

Ditto.

Also, in 1986 at AOCS, we had a dude DOR within the first minute of checking in at Poopyville...I saw [and heard] the whole thing since I was locked up on the front porch of Poopyville. He walked back to the cab drop-off/pick-up area and left...I don’t believe he went to G Company...I was looking for him when G Company came “...marching into chow!”...no joy. I wanted to congratulate him for setting a [possible] world record for the fastest DOR.

You can roll for failing an evolution, which means they set you back into the next class. So if you're, let's say, 09-19, and you fail the IST by not meeting the minimum, they put you into H-Class (a separate holding class that you stay in just practicing what you failed at and not progressing through the OCS program) until the next class that gets to that event comes along, so 10-19.

Ahhhh...we called that G Company back long ago. I nearly shit myself thinking I had failed the aero final and was worried about a trip to G. Passed that thing with a point or two to spare.
