So, I realize we get a lot of people in both these boards and on USNavyOCS asking various questions that have been covered by gouge, and a lot of people asking for gouge that has either been lost or is floating around in Interweb limbo.
Therefore, I am trying to make a compilation of all the useful, relevant, accurate gouge that has helped people succeed at OCS.
At the moment, I have found the following:
ASTB gouge (PDF)
ASTB mechanical gouge (PDF)
"Survivors Guide to OCS" (PDF - Dec '07)
Big Four Gouge (PPT - Chain of Command, Code of Conduct, General Orders of a Sentry, Rank structure, Staff Corp Insignia, Warfare Devices/pins, Sailor's Creed, National Anthem, Navy/Marine Corp Hymns)
They are located here: http://navy.motbaillie.com
I'm going to temporarily remove the Peterson's ARCO Military Flight PDF (even though they distribute it freely on their website) and then just directly link to it (on their site) later when I put up on actual page.
Everything else was retrieved from the public domain, is not copyrighted, or the original authors are unknown. If I receive any complaints from anyone, the content in question will be removed however most of this material has, thus far, been widely distributed and created for the benefit of the prospective Navy OCS community.
These are just the first couple of things that I either had readily available or that came to mind. Ideally, I would like to compile all of the most useful stuff that will benefit people the most into this one place (because my hosting isn't going anywhere anytime soon) and have a stickied thread on both this site and USNavyOCS.
Questions, comments, suggestions, and GOUGE and very much appreciated!
Edit: look for frequent changes to this main post. I am going to organize this information quite a bit more and convert as much of the information I gather to PDF format as possible.
