Crowbar said:At the depots we have the Physical Conditioning Platoon aka "PCP" or "Pork Chop Platoon" that does the same thing. OCS doesn't bother.
Unlike the Navy, there's only three main OCS cycles a year, there's no point tying up staff to baby a candidate for four months until the next cycle. The Corps doesn't want officers who aren't capable of training up to the standard on their own.
