Hey Randy Lin! I have a couple questions about Marine Aviation, I requested you on Instagram but you deleted the request. I'm the guy with the name with the meaning Exploding Fuel Could I send you a couple PMs?

For academics, is history the only thing you focus on? Or do you also have other subjects to study?

During INDOC when was the height/weight taken and did anyone fail that and then fail the tape too? If so what happened to them? Great video, thanks!

Show up in shape and don’t quit.

So if you aren’t physically fit does OSO help you to get there or do they give you tips to about to leveling up your Physical Fitness?? Also let’s say if I get ready and enroll in college and I have all my paperwork done it’s just physical keeping me away. Can I go to Officer Candidate Course after my junior year ??😮

Brother, I never knew you had a youtube. We went through the schoolhouse back in 19. S/F

47 years later, the memories are still fresh. Keep and open mind and be in the best shape of your life.

what was you run time goin into OCS

I'm so glad that I went through with just SULE I and II.

Good tips/vid. I completed OCS & commissioned 24 years ago. The mentality candidates must have to succeed at OCS has not changed. OCS is another world. Every training day you are in a high stress environment. Arrive at OCS ready to go in every way possible. Don’t show weakness - but don’t take yourself too seriously. Believe in yourself so you can push through the barrage of tough times. Play the game. Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

Aye if you got a casualty you don't leave them behind, even if you're the one having to go assess them because your ft/squadmates won't do shit. They'll take note of it. It's a positive

Thanks for the information!

Thanks for the advice sir!

Its 90% mental, 9% physically and 1% academic but you can’t have one without the other. Finally you better want it. Most quit

Thank you for making this!

Grandpa was in marine corp my dad is in the army I am going to marine ocs when I get college degree

Eagerly awaiting more TBS week summary videos. What has happened at TBS since Range Week? Thanks!

I’m not gonna lie, you said a whole lot of nothing in this video dude

As someone who just went to OCS 237, my advice for anyone going is to adapt to the lifestyle and make sure you're ready to be pushed physically. DO NOT be phased by the pick-up phase when you get your sergeant instructors. Just remember that phase won't last long. If you mess up or get your s*** pushed in, learn from it and move on and DO NOT take anything personal. Secondly, make sure you're ready to be pushed physically throughout the cycle. If you are someone who strictly runs and does low weight/ body weight exercises, make sure you get in the gym and push some weight around. The vast majority of our drops were candidates who were good at running but did not prepare their muscles for the physical stress. HIT THE GYM! (and of course balance your running schedule) On a final note, find guys in your platoon that will help you get through it. Even though you get liberty at various points throughout the cycle, some people struggle mentally (these are the people who don't adapt to the training) which will affect your motivation. Learn, Adapt, Overcome.

Semper fi honestly calm voice as speaking being natural your self and also being positive but as the same time not surgar coated it

Did you enlist then work your way to become an officer?

Rah Sir, now that I’m about to EAS in a few months i just wanted to share with you a two mistake i see a lot of new officers make One is the attempt to do too much on their own, they forget they have the power of delegation 2nd ill see some officers try and get too involved with their platoons and this leads to the men losing respect because they start to see all of your faults and imperfections, and this leads to the men making jokes and memes out of the officer, I’m not saying go hide in your office but I’m saying to not make it a habit of always having to be involved to supervise or chat with the men, you have NCO’s that are more then capable of supervising. Good luck Sir, i hope you make your future platoon even better and i hope you dont get caught up in all the BS politics that are involved

Can an enlisted call an officer a boot? Ive never been in this situation before 🤷‍♂️ how does this work out 😂 i mean you outrank me but ….

How do you feel about the new route our organization is taking on small unit leaders and the changes away from our tanks to become a more mobile and quicker force?

What do prior enlisted who have a green belt or above do during MCMAP week? Also, what if you already did your annual rifle/pistol qual?

Just be a good dude and put out. Best advice you could get, don’t watch this video. It will make you want to be a civilian.

I’m probably too damn old for OCS. I’m 33 with 5 years prior service as a Marine grunt. Got my Masters and Bachelors degree already. I hear age waivers are almost non existent though unless you can show a 300 PFT. I’ll have to see the OSO once I can run a 1st class PFT. At the very least, I can still go reserves as a grunt again.

Are there barbers on base at Quantico? I noticed you always have a fresh fade.

Which aircraft pipeline are you going for

That sonic adventure 2 battle 🤣🤣🤣

Glad to see you’re doing well Lt. Linn!

You'll NEVER be a leader as a pilot! Pog!

Show up in the best shape of your life. Don't worry about weight lifter strength because you will lose muscle mass. Endurance and cardio should be your priority. Know how to read a map and how to use a compass. Learn how to climb a rope with your legs not using your arms or the O course will kill you. You will go through the O course 4-5 times in 1 PT session. If you can't climb the rope consecutively, you're done. Remember, the number 1 graduate and the last have 1 thing in common, they both put on a butter bar. If you go too fast or get sloppy, you will get hurt.

We finally get to fight? Damn can’t wait.

How did weekend liberty change? I saw that you cant leave anymore but I’m wondering how long after the end of ROM/beginning of training were you allowed liberty and given your phone back?

I don’t care how long it takes I will become a marine officer.

Hey what’s TBS like? And do you need to borrow Horton scissors?

Sitting in the chow hall watching this and every time that cancelled sound goes off ppl look over 🤣

Damn u guys couldn't do shit

What's ROM

Hey man question- are you allowed to chose planks over the other core exercises? I’ve heard they give you the option now, and they Navy/USMC are considering phasing out sit-ups.

If u all quarentine together why cant they be outside where its healthier for you and the sun n heat kills the virus?? I seen some army recruits working out and running with masks on which is beyond stupid! Its like people just went dumb and forgot about carbon poisoning. Military is so fd right now. At the time of this message they are purging conservatives and non leftists

I wanna apply for mecep but I feel like the academic part would be difficult

Tip #6: be glad you’re not having to go through enlisted boot camp.

For your next video you can probably do one that covers a comparison/ major differences between marine corps bootcamp VS OCS . like was it more difficult than regular bootcamp and if so, how so?

Oi whats better ocs or us military academy?

If people are that worried about OCS should they really even be showing up? The kind of people that seek this out are NOT the people I want on my team.

So basically... OCS is watered down. 🤣

Rah

Awesome shit man, I’m planning on getting in and become a marine pilot aswell, will definitely keep tuning in for some more advice!
