sTUPID qUESTIONS aBOUT ocs

Hello, all. Was trying to find some information on the recommended Belleville 800 ST boots and I found this comment and a few others on page 489 of this thread. As someone who has NEVER worn boots in my life, I thought it would be a good idea to buy them ahead of time to break them in, learn how to shine them, blouse them etc, so as to save time at OCS. With that being said, can anyone confirm if it is still ok to show up to OCS with the 800 ST's instead of using the ones issued to you? I know these comments on page 489 aren't that old, but from other messages I've been reading on Air Warriors it seems like things are constantly changing at OCS. TIA.

It's still fine if you bring your own pair. I brought my own 800 STs to OCS and it definitely saved me time by not having to polish it for the first time compared to my peers.

Question for any new accessions planning to class up for OCS/ODS this year: How bad is your delay in getting orders to attend?

I’m hearing from my recruiter and accessions personnel that PERS is majorly backlogged in generating my commission. So my orders cannot get cut yet. If I don’t receive orders this week, then I’ll have to push back my ODS class for the 2nd time. Mostly all due to the current exceptional political climate.

I was told this was a navy-wide issue and there are others in my situation. Thus, March ODS classes haven’t even been filled. Just trying to hear other peoples’ experiences.

A lot of government civilians are either being let go, voluntary resigning (don't want to return on-site every day) or are accepted the deferred resignation. So it's very likely you're not the only one impacted by this for ODS.

NOTE: This is ODS. For anyone else reading.

I was notified of selection in December, and am still waiting.
