just signed the enlistment form before heading to OCS for the navy here soon. It’s an 8 year service contract to be a SWO. However I hear when people are going through OCS they can drop on request (DOR) and be sent home back to civilian life with mo service obligation if they weren’t prior enlisted already. Is this true or would I owe the navy my years and they would send me to Great Lakes to enlist for quitting?

DOR at OCS
- Thread starter rdj3
- Start date
- Why are you already thinking of quitting? Focus on the success, not the chance of failure.
- Read your paperwork again but I'm pretty sure that 8 years includes any time in the IRR, which means, it's not necessarily 8 straight years active.
AYFKM?
Nothing wrong with thinking about this IMHO, though you can expect this kind of reaction to this kind of question.

Take this with a grain of salt, as I was not Navy, and did not go through OCS. ( Army ROTC )
I think if you go into the training with the resolution that you might get kicked out, but you will never quit that the mental part of training is easier. My game plan for schools was that that people that were younger, older, faster, slower....whatever.... had made it through and there was no way I was going to quit.
I think it is smart to know what you are committing to, but once you sign on the dotted line, banish " quitting " from your vocabulary.
