Does anyone know how to compute for the final score for prt?

As long as you didn't fail any section, you can add up the points from each section for the total score.
I.e. scoring excellent low in all categories (75 points each) will provide a total of 225 points.

My recruiter said they didn't do that in OCS... oh well I can do everything else physically... I stand up quick I blackout ... so I'll just pass out it'll be fabulous

You definitely do lots of burpees, they are just particular with form and will have you do them until you get it right...

So I’ve heard the Navy is looking to shorten OCS to ten weeks. Is that just to produce more officers, save money, something else?

Where did you hear that? I heard it was going to be extended by 1 week and notice CANTRAC has it over 90 days in length for the next FY.

It’s been put on on public avenues OCS is expanding from 12 to 13 weeks.

My mistake, I read about 10 week OCS in another thread. I guess that makes me fake news.

Everything is fake news until it's in writing. They've been talking about changing OCS forever.

Is the extra week tacked onto Candio-phase or one of the other two?

Are there awards you can get at OCS?

I imagine you still get authorized the National Defense Service Medal on day one, as long as the current period of qualification remains in effect. (Sept. 11, 2001 to a date to be determined - Terrorism attacks on the U.S./Global War on Terrorism)

That and I believe OCS folks still do the M9 pistol shoot.

NDSM for sure, Pistol qual most likely. Some classes get skipped because of maintenance/availability.

You can also get a NAM for being stashed in student pool against your will for 2 years (after completing OCS) and basically running certain operations behind the scenes while waiting for your security clearance. Anyone who commissioned via OCS in 2017 or 2018 knows who I'm talking about.

If only they could give him more than a NAM. He helped me keep my head up during the TNPQ process. 11/10 human being and probably a 12/10 naval officer.
