Yea I talked to one of my recruiters the other day and he said OCS will be in Rhode Island. At first, I thought he made a mistake, but after reading these posts I guess it's true.
Do a search. This topic was covered in nauseating detail recently including such tidbits as: Drill Instructors ( are the Marines moving as well?), LDO/CWO's, class composition & size, curriculum, etc . . . etc . . . etc.
Yep, it's true. All the DI's were pissed when my class was about to graduate. They said there wasn't a parade deck and an appropriate chow hall to do their 'procedures' in.

I'm sure they'll figure out something to harass the candidates with.

What a lot guys forget is that OCS used to be in RI before is combined with AOCS in Pensacola. OCS in RI is not a new thing. It worked fine before. It'll work fine again. Is there a parade deck? No, not technically. But I assure you there are plenty of places for the DI's to use.
Yes, but the OCS that was resident at Newport before, and for many years, was nothing like the old AOCS and fairly different then the current OCS with Marine D.I. instruction. Marines are, in fact, adaptable and flexible(max gumby). But one can understand why a Marine D.I. would be lost without a parade deck or discrete chow hall environment. It isn't the location as much as the resulting program that will change to adapt to the new environment. Net result will be another slide toward the business vs military, stress card, self esteem preserving USAF OTS type experience. Bummer.
Out of curiosity, did the Navy not cut orders for OCS in July (since as was posted above they won't be having July classes)? Or do they plan to just pack more into each class before/after? All of those people (2 whole classes worth I'd imagine) have to go somewhere.

Dude, You SERIOUSLY didn't include this sentence and Marine DI's in the same post, did you? I mean, c'mon!

Its going to be interesting how the candidates survive OCS during the winter months.

Yeah, that's what I was wondering... winter OCS sounds like it's going to be way different in RI, along with many other changes. In what other ways is OCS going to change? (please yell at me and provide a link if this has already been covered, as it sounds like it probably has been...) Btw, I'm looking it a Sept. OCS class date, not the warmest time of year...
