I have a friend reporting to OCS on 9 June and he told me his class was 18-07, which would make our class 19-07. I haven't been able to verify this though.

Consider it verified.

I just contacted OCS... Our Class Officer is... LT Sowers. Add him to your memorization Also, contact OCS if you would like to request a Mentor!

Best,
Monica

What exactly does a mentor do for you?

 

[Enginerd]

I tried contacting OCS through the OCTP website to request a mentor and could not get it to work. Or they haven't contacted me yet....

 

[monki17]

I tried the OCS website as well... It didn't work. As such, I contacted the OCS PAO at (850) 452-2101.

Has anyone gone on to NKO to complete Naval History and such yet?

 

[Enginerd]

Yes, I have completed all the courses on NKO. Naval History is the longest (8 sections). The quiz at the end of each section is easy and the Final Exam (45 questions) is mostly made up of those questions. The only other difficult course is the one with all the memorization stuff. Good news is that you can retake the exams until you get 100 on them.

I was looking over the list of what to bring and I noticed there is a listing for Females to bring a swimsuit but no such listing for males. Do we need to bring a swimsuit or will it be issued?

From what I've heard, it will be issued.

Males will be issued PT shorts, which double as swim shorts.

Any one have an answer to this question??

 

[Enginerd]

Does anyone have the current chain of command?

 

[red1323]

Is it just me or is this the third time this Q has been asked this month??

 

[red1323]

I've been doing some forum searching on the "What does a mentor do?" question and so far all I've been able to come up with is:

Your mentor is usually your class officer
Mentors are usually difficult to get ahold of
Your mentor can/may give you the current, full (as much as possible) COC for your class, your class number, and login to NKO, all of which will help, none of it is necessary.

Anyone out there with more/better info on this is welcome to chime in/correct me.

Looks like I'll be joining this class too, stupid cold. Anyone driving mind if i throw my cell phone in their car? I plan to fly out on Saturday.

Dude, quit your job on the way out the door, once you are in the Navy, you won't need to worry about a reccomendation from your company, and really, that is the only reason anyone gives the obligatory two week notice.
