Strongly disagree.
One thing that few seem to be aware of, is that if you have a good class (most classes ARE), one that learns to work together as a team, and where the stronger reach out and help the weaker... a bond will form culminating often in life-long friendships.
We communicate often by e-mail, and occasionally phone, with 10 of my NAVCAD Preflight (our version of OCS) buddies, some 58 years after meeting in Indoc Batt. I've found this also to be true of classmates from the USNA, and enlisted Boot Camp to a lesser degree. It seems to be that a strong bond forms between strangers who work closely together as a team, endure and overcome, through a very tough and 'seemingly' long stressful situation!
