As a side note if you like to dive, RI has AWESOME diving.
I'm sure they'll stop training to ship entire classes from Pcola to RI midstream. Talk to your recruiter now if you need to request a special meal on the flight up there.
I honestly don't know, but think about the logistical nightmare of moving that many people midstream in that environment. C'mon guys...
Does this mean the Marine DIs at Navy OCS are going away now?
I know I know. Not another "my recruiter told me" line, but my recruiter assured me I'd be in RI this June. I am not excited about the tail end of my OCS vacation being in a cold fall, but I guess I have to be excited about not having to see the trashy girls of southern Alabama ... err.. Pensacola.
Concur, I would expect that they would do a phased approach, and that even though the headquarters is in Newport, that classes that start prior to the move stay and graduate in P-Cola, and that classes that start after the move start and end in Newport. Just my $.02I honestly don't know, but think about the logistical nightmare of moving that many people midstream in that environment. C'mon guys...
I can't see CWO/LDO/DCOs being combined with OCS. The Marine DIs might give them marching classes as part of knife & fork but I doubt they will be calling them numb nuts and PTing them.
