Oh yes, the "Ring Toss," I remember it well. I also remember the requisite viewing of "12 O'Clock High" to reinforce those leadership traits every B-17 bomber squadron CO should have!

"And I want you to paint this name on the nose of your ship: Leper Colony. Because in it you're gonna get every deadbeat in the outfit. Every man with a penchant for head colds. If there's a bombardier who can't hit his plate with his fork, you get him. If there's a navigator who can't find the men's room, you get him. Because you rate him. "

Great flick.

You'll be happy to know that I commissioned in 2003 and they still show 12 O'Clock High for ROTC senior leadership. It IS a great movie though.

afROTC still uses it as well. Back when I was in NJROTC it was even used although I'm probably only one from then who got anything out of it.

"You and me, we're gonna have a fight. Today. After school. Three o'clock. In the parking lot. You try and run, I'm gonna track you down. You go to a teacher, it's only gonna get worse. You sneak home, I'm gonna be under your bed."

(Oh, wait...TWELVE O'Clock High...oops. :D )

What you are talking about is the OCS video that you watch in the recruiting office with Officer Candidate Macklin. If you are in Idaho, the closest place to watch it is either SLC or Spokane. I doubt it's on the net but you could look.

It is supposed to give you a realistic idea of what OCS is like and pretty much does.

Is that the video with GYSGT Erwin?

I chucked when I saw it and my recruiter said "you are gonna have FUN there..."

I did. Just ask Kmac.
