Looking for a female perspective on OCS

[SynixMan]

I just read this. I thought it was going to be about birth control pills and other lady issues. Hahah. I didn't know these other things were issues I thought it was a standard understood by everyone who considers OCS. Yowza.

You'll be surprised, and later as a CandiO amused, to find out how many people are clueless as to what OCS actually is and what happens there...

Am I correct in assuming we aren't allowed to bring hair dryers?

If they haven't switched things up since '07, you'll get your hair cut short enough that there's no need for a hair dryer.

That's what I thought. Thank you.

FIFY.

You WERE kidding, right?

Sort of. I was looking for another reason to cut my hair short. I'll be glad to not pack it.

Good luck…keep your sense of humor and your goal in mind…"enjoy" the experience…..and thanks for wanting to do this. It's a life-changing experience...

Thanks for the advice, Renegade One. Words of wisdom from someone who's been there are always appreciated.

Don't spend money on getting a short haircut before you go. No matter how short it is, they will find some more to cut off.

I have a stupid question about underwear. I understand we are to bring plain white underwear and I'm assuming its something that will have to be folded/inspected. Is there a particular style (bikini, hi cut, brief) that is preferred?

SO I pull up AW on the laptop...click "What's New"...and as the page loads I see at the top "Looking for a female perspective on OCS"...."Last Message - HAL Pilot"...first thought - "This is going to be good."

There's a dash of color but I'm sure the DIs will be fine with 99% white.....

I'm glad we're representing the Navy and our Officer Corps as a group of professionals that our young officer candidates can trust in and look up to.
