I'm not in the Navy, but I recently (two weeks ago) had the opportunity to ask an AOCS DI what the differences were compared to Navy OCS and Marine OCS, what he liked and didn't like, etc. He told me he didn't feel like they had the opportunity to push what he felt was the proper amount of stress on the candidates down in P-cola. He went on to say that it was the Navy who didn't want the DI's to push it down there. The Gunny felt like the Navy wanted to 'militarize' the candidates a bit and then stamp their tickets.
I've never been through AOCS so I'm not saying this is how it is down there, but it is what I heard. This does seem to jive with what I'm reading in some of the above posts. Any thoughts from those who have been there on this?
Semper Fi, Doc
