BLUF: "focus on the closest alligator to the boat, but don't forget about the others"
Like mentioned above, just focus on everything you can control, and take it from there.
In the interest of answering your question, your priority list right now should look something like this:
- Preparing for/scoring well on ASTB
- Getting in shape/studying for OCS
- Surviving the sand pits in Newport
- Flight school
Attrition for academics during OCS/flight school doesn't happen often and is really unfortunate, but if you keep your head in the books and study with others, you'll be ok. The firehose method is the DOD's preferred method of training, but there are ways to make it a little more bearable ("learning objectives").
The biggest thing about OCS is staying locked in and not letting your guard down or getting complacent. Indoc phase was easily the toughest part of OCS bc of how many people around me were slowly starting to realize they weren't cut out for the military or were just in the pit of despair for various reasons. Like other military trainings, it's tough but doable. Focus on making it to the next chow, and you'll be alright
Lastly, to address your concerns about G's: during the Contacts stage of Primary, the first thing you'll do before starting any high work is a G-warm exercise (Gx): a 4-5 G pull at 70-80 deg AOB and 3-5 breath cycles. If you can do that on the first flight without puking into an airsickness bag, you'll be just fine; if not, you'll do some airsickness stuff with the AS coordinator for your squadron to get you acclimated (you might even get the Airsickness Weapons School patch lol). During formation flying, your instructor may demonstrate the tail chase which can go up to 6 G's; I never got to do this, but my roommate said it was awesome
