Well when you spend a bunch of money and time getting a degree, you are more employable across the board. Why should a college grad join the military? To serve their country? Okay yeah sure, but the best talent has a lot of pretty good options. The military can't rely on only people that want to serve their country for honorable/selfless reasons. If the military wants more educated people in its ranks, they need to make military life a bit more desirable than the life of an enlisted.
I wasn’t navy or marines, I was Army. But for what it’s worth, the men and women you’ll be In charge of, went through this times 100. We understand what you did, we all did it.
Work smarter, not harder. Maybe OCS was cut down in length because research on education showed 12 weeks was more effective at teaching what needed to be taught.
What are the candidates yelling in 8:17, 8:27, etc? They are a lot longer responses than your typical yes/no sirs. Is that likely to be the stuff in that packet that the OCS site says to have memorized verbatim like the sailors creed and oath of office?
The objective of war is to bring conflict to a peaceful conclusion. It is not to kill the enemy. The first step to peace is to limit weaponry; not to kill the populace nor to kill the combatants. When the weaponry is gone, the war is over.
This is absurd. The objective of war is to impose your nation's will onto another nation. The objective of war is not peace. The objective of war is successfully achieving national objectives. This is usually called victory.
The objective of war is for one side to win. If the winning side doesn't want a peaceful conclusion, then no peaceful conclusion will happen. Limiting weaponry sounds like a good thing, but there are people on this planet than hate freedom and love oppression (especially oppressing women). What are you supposed to do when bad people won't give up their weapons? Make a hippie anti-war comment on youtube about how everyone should just love each other? Real world peace can only happen when people stop doing shitty things. So... yeah. Never guna happen, unfortunately.
At least the US military doesn't make them buzz it off. Dear god women look so unattractive with buzzed hair. On second thought, maybe women should buzz their hair lmao. Keep them enlisted dudes from harassing them.
At least they live in dorm like rooms. The enlisted bootcamp live in compartments with 90 other recruits.
True, but it is longer and more psychologically difficult than Basic.
You also don't know the time. No clocks or watches allowed.
embrace the suck
I was both at boot camp and OCS in 1956. I lived in barracks in both places. OCS was easier because everyone around you made it easier.

8:49 he was about to say bs lmfao
Best decision by the OCS to implement Marine DI's in their training.
Scared out of wits did not describe how I felt in the first week
8:20 that’s actually my battalion SgtMaj
Ha ha the pit!!! USMC at its best thrashing fools since 1775
I didn't know they wore midshipman uniforms.

Not to even mention if you are enlisted and go into officer.
12 weeks, we had 4 full months when we went through! why did the Navy water it down???
Big words from a guy who was never involved in a real war where our freedom was at stake.

@17:59 what does he hand the DI?
Obviously you didnt learn shit with those elbows on the table. All backs are straight sailor. 17:21

Yes. General orders of a sentry, chain of command, ranks of the different branches of the military, warfare insignia stuff like that.
How many times did I have to yell the General Orders, and once out never yelled or had to remember them again.
Why is everyone so surprised at this ???? Did you ever go to a movie in your life? Full Metal Jacket? Officer and Gentleman etc…
Duh…. Hello people..
look at that hair cut from that 2 star at 17:39 lol.
HUH?
my brother is currently at ocs in newport.
@9:45 Bamba juice!!!

That's a Captain. Not that that really matters, but still...

Poor ladies gotta have their hair trimmed. Must be traumatizing.
