Hey I need the correct Gouge for OCS. I was told it has changed a bit from the hand book that I got. My OCS date is 22 Jan. Please help if you can.
The verbatim gouge is posted on the OCS website (General orders, Chain of command, Code of Conduct, Sailors Creed). The book that you have is good for the rank structure:
"Sir, and O-4 in the United States Marine Corp is a Major. His insignia is a gold oakleaf." (know all this)
The stuff that is no good in the book you got (blue spiral notebook, right?) is the leadership traits, the navy mission, and stuff like that. If you want to know what that stuff is you can look it up online (search on Navy's mission, sailors creed, etc) Don't worry about those leadership traits, I am pretty sure you don't need to know them anymore.
