I recently decided to start an “in the life of” blog with the first subject focus being Navy OCS. If you want to check it out the link is here to one of my first posts on what I wish I packed for OCS. Any constructive criticism or suggestions on what you write about next are welcome.

I guess I should elaborate and I’m going to add on to this here because I don’t want to spam this beloved site. My intention is to retain anonymity with the blog, it’s just personal preference. That being said, any generic questions DM’d to me I would be more than willing to answer in an aggregated form blog post. I was at OCS during the pandemic so my experience is relatively recent. I also plan to document/share the journey through flight school and the Navy in general. I plan to use the blog as a humorous (debatable) creative outlet while also providing “good gouge”, if such a thing exists.

Looks like I’m in the 17OCT21 class. That puts me in Newport during Christmas/New Year’s holidays.

Does anyone know how Christmas/New Year’s is handled at OCS? Will I be able to leave to spend Christmas with my family? How many days leave do we receive if leave is offered?

If you dig a little bit on this site and google you'll find the answer. From what I understand, you won't be allowed off-base liberty unless you are in your candio phase. So, if you are in your last phase of OCS during the stand down, you get to go home. If i recall correctly, there is a 10-12 day stand down. So you'll be using leave for however many of those days you are away. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I’ve dug around and couldn’t find a clear answer like the one you gave.

Thanks!

Please tell me this isn't true.

Yeah it’s true. But honestly, when she did that with my class, it was a really nice break from screaming and doing burpees. Little chances like this to center yourself or whatever are worth taking. Same reason I encourage anyone, regardless of belief, to attend at least a couple religious services.
