My OSO sent me this email regarding mini-OCS:
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The Officer Selection Offices throughout TX and OK have been getting
together for at least 12 years now to conduct a Pre-OCS weekend for
your
benefit. I am writing each of you to inform you of theist year's event.
I
have attached the Letter of Instruction (LOI) with the specific details
relating to it. The event will be from Friday-Sunday, 2-4 April. There
should be about 150 candidates in attendance this year (30 from
Austin). We
are also bringing in a 3 actual Sergeant Instructors from OCS to assist
with
your training!
This event is mandatory for those candidates that have not been to OCS.
If
there is any reason that you cannot attend, you need to explain it to
me
personally. Due to space availability, I am not requiring the
returning PLC
Seniors to attend this year's Pre-OCS. For all others, you need to
confirm
to me, SSgt or Mike by next Friday March 19. The SSgt and I will be
out of
the office until next Friday, so call Mike to let him know.
Returning Srs- be prepared to provide uniforms for the candidates
attending
Pre-OCS this year. We need your help with uniforms. make sure you
label
all of your gear, and properly document who you're lending it out to.
The
OSO office will provide each candidate with a pack for Pre-OCS weekend.
Also, we are generating study packets for all candidates going to OCS
this
summer. We will have them available for you after Spring Break.
SPRING BREAK- have fun, but be careful! Do not jeopardize your future
by
getting a MIP or PI this Spring Break. The TABC is ruthless this time
of
year. Also, we had a candidate roll his truck on the beach last year
which
put him in the hospital. He has now recovered, but his injuries kept
him
from shipping to OCS last year. Look out for each other!
attached is the LOI for Pre-OCS.
