Other than a bible you're pretty much SOL but there are some reading materials they will give you. The Navy Atlas is required reading but also genuinely interesting

Okay, thank you. I plan on bringing my Bible and Book of Common Prayer.

Is the minimum sat high or good low for the ist now? I know aim higher because you are tired hungry etc when you take it. Just trying to get a straight answer since I keep seeing conflicting info. Thanks

This is possibly outdated, but it was good low across the IST and all PFAs (except out-PFA which was sat med) when I graduated last year. Sorry I can't give you a straight answer, but hopefully it helps

Hey guys, I want to go to OCS in a few years for SNA. I’m currently about halfway through school and have a solid GPA. Im in the reserves right now and just had a Good High PRT. Do they look at prior service PRTs and will this hurt me down the line in submission boards? Thank you!

Doesn't matter at all. That won't affect your chances but get in better shape before ocs.

Stupid question, I feel like I won’t have all of appendix B down before I go to OCS next week. I have the code of conduct, mission, general orders of a sentry, core values, core attributes, and 90% of the navy officer ranks down so far. Will I have enough time at OCS to learn the rest?

You'll be fine. People go there without having looked at appendix B.

I appreciate it. Just want to be prepped as much as possible

You have so much of B already memorized that you'll be bored during indoc phase.

Lol, thank you. Definitely eased some stress for me.

If I drive to OCS is there long-term parking where I can leave my vehicle? Or is it recommended to take a taxi or get dropped off?

There was a dedicated parking lot in somewhere in between Nimitz and the exchange a few... quite a few years ago. Have vehicle cover for your vehicle, the seagulls liked to drop clams on the road to bust them open, and many of the cars that were there for 3 months+ often had some damage from them. Also, you won't be able to use it while you are there except maybe the weekend of commissioning.

I'm glad I didn't bring my car. It's a hassle more than anything unless you want to drive home after ocs.

if you have a doctor appointment for a waiver you don’t drive your own car there even if it’s there?

No. Whatever class is currently in their Candio phase will take you with the duty van.
