I’m an army drill sergeant and I can tell you for a fact there is no sleep deprivation for anyone except the drill sergeants lol. Trainees have a minimum hours of sleep and it’s like 7 hours
100% being a recruit will be the easiest part of one's career for most. guaranteed food and sleep. You worry about getting messed with but that will happen regardless. In the fleet, whole different story if your actions lead to something going wrong.
I agree with the way the Army does OCS. You have to become a soldier before you can lead soldiers. So sending potential officers through BCT first makes sense.
@ugs192 oml this happened to me while I was at work. I let people know that I'm shipping out soon and they were like "thanks for your service", I was like "well NOT YET!" 😂
Army OCS Grad here. It was actually very easy, and this is coming from a non-prior service guy. The army OCS subreddit has plenty of nitty-gritty details in terms of the history test and all that other shit for all those curious about it.
What is missing in the U.S. Marine Corps OCS take is that it is not a training but an officer screening course. Training is a secondary objective of OCS. Officer training occurs at TBS. My PLC class lost 75%, so depending on the year, the cut can be severe. I attended in 1976 and retired in 2002 so much probably has changed.
that is IOC phase 1 for all Marines 2nd Lt: I did mine 6-85 then went FAOBC at FortsILL to be an 0802; IOC phase 2 is what they call now: just IOC (9 more weeks ‘advance’ training): no thanks;
I love the Coast Guard! I joined the Coast Guard Auxiliary when I got out of the Navy and let me tell you, I did not know coasties were so cool. Even their civilian volunteer branch (the Auxilery) participates in SAR, vessel safety, can go on deployments with Active duty, stand watches for active duty, be pilots and so much more. I say this as a veteran but with as much hours as some of these civs put into the Auxilery and the fact they do near the same things as Active Duty Coasties I'd make the argument some of them deserve veteran status just like the rest of us. That would also be a cool video idea: The civilian and youth volunteer programs of the U.S Military. Navy Cadets, Coast Guard Auxilery, Civil War Patrol, etc.
No sir. Medical doctors, attorneys, phducologists, social workers with a graduate degree, clergy and I think that might be the extent of the ones who receive a Direct Commission and only attend a two week indoctrination that only takes them through CIF where they are issued uniforms, are given classes in AR 670-1, taught the rank structure and basic military customs and courtesies, are taught how to march in formation, how to stand/march/run in formation and the facing movements. The drill and ceremony they receive is very rudimentary. They are given all their shots and update a medical record for them. They take CPR and First Aid classes, are given briefings in UCMJ. Like all military courses they take and pass their Army Combat Fitness Test. They are not given anything more that a briefing about military leadership. I know all this because I went through basic parachuting course with a brand new capitan who was just out of his two week indoc at Benning. He was being run through the wringer by every Sgt Airborne in our company on day zero. When one black hat told him to get down he was not sure what he wanted. He was so confused why calling him sir was such a horrible thing and why it was eliciting the response it did. The medical direct commisions did have to pass their military boards but had a few years to work with whomever was the head of their department to make that happen as they had already completed their residency in their specialty and the doctors are already board certified in that medical specialty. The attorney's have already passed the federal bar and their state bar and then once in the Army study the UCMJ and are given a written and oral exam by the post JAG General who certifies them. They are allowed to fill positions of JAG prosecutors but are not allowed to defend a serviceman until they have been a prosecutor for 4 or more years and have passed their UCMJ certification with their progression being promotion to Major at year 6 or 7 then becoming a defense attorney. Doctors direct commision to capitan, with all others with an advanced degree coming in as a 1st Lt. Except for clergy. They commission as a Capitan so they can fulfill their duties as a soldiers advocate and have influence with company commanders and 1SGs.
I was a direct commission into the Nurse Corps in 1980. I had to have a license and a four year nursing degree. Depending upon the time period some nurses with experience were appointed as 2LTs and others up to MAJ. Many nurses now go through ROTC or direct commissioning from the enlisted/nurse training program. I was fortunate to have gone through enlisted basic in 1972 and spent 3 years regular enlisted. Officer orientation did require courses such as land nav, weapons familiarization and a mini FTX. I got grief about wearing a GCM, I explained that many officers come up from the ranks.
I was a US Navy Operations Specialist ( radarman) from 1985 to 1995 . After basic training I attended OS A school at Fleet Combat Training Center Atlantic in Dam Neck Virginia . OS A school was 17 weeks of intense mental training to operate in the Combat Information Center of a US Navy warship .
After finishing college, one has that option to put himself to good use. Takes roughly 18 months to finish OCS. After getting commissioned, you have a long march before retiring. Colonel over 20 carries great pay.
Thank you for your video. I went through USCG OCS in 1990 when it was still in Yorktown, VA. The time on the Eagle was a cool memory, but it did not _really_ provide any pertinent training for a successful career.
I did not know that NOAA Officers went through USCG OCS; I knew NOAA had commissioned and uniformed personnel, but I was not aware that their training pipeline ran through the Coast Guard, given that their mission is scientific in nature. I have worked with some NOAA uniformed personnel, but not many, and never long enough to really get to ask them what it took to become a NOAA officer. Thanks for teaching me something new!
Also you can become an officer if you’re a doctor or a nurse with 4 years or more experience degree plus experience all the way up to age 57 if I’m not mistaken in the national guard correct if I’m wrong or mistake
It’s not even close, Marines by far the most difficult. USMC is looking to wash you out of OCS. Recruiting is specifically geared to grossly over-recruit. In my era (very late 80s, the proscribed wash out rate was a set 45%. Some OCS companies washed out more. By far the most likely reason was their body gave out on them. Heat exhaustion, gone! Twist an ankle to the point it bruises, gone! Shin splints, gone! I recall several “flipping out” the first several days, disappearing escorted by corpsmen to the Naval Hospital psych ward. No mercy for any kind of weakness. USMC OCS is NOT about training, it is about screening out the weak. We called them the “Unsat”.
The hardest part about Army OCS, at least in 2005-06, was not getting injured and land nav. Those were the biggest causes of drops and recycles. If you can find your points and suck up any injuries, then you are good to go. You can leave your locker open and collect enough tours and restriction to the barracks to keep you from leaving the company area until graduation, but you'll still graduate.
Really hope to join the USAF OTS to get a slot in aviation…However all I keep seeing online is that it is it can take years to get into OTS and there’s no guarantee you’ll even be accepted
I love that Army Officer Candidates have to complete Enlisted Basic first. I am surprised that Marine Officer Candidates do not complete Enlisted Bootcamp first (unless Warrant Officers or Mustangs, of course) - Should earn the EGA first.
OCS is taught by enlisted Drill Instructors. After OCS, the new lieutenants get 6 months of The Basic School (TBS). There they are taught to become infantry Platoon Leaders. That means serious infantry training including long marches under load. All that BEFORE they even get to a specialist school.
@phil4483 Yes, very true - My point has nothing to do with the difficulty/toughness of the training. My point was the bond it could help create, especially with, junior enlisted. It might help both enlisted and the new officer - hence maybe why the Army does it. As Marines, we take pride in shared experiences.
The skills of being junior enlisted and being an officer are very different. Plenty of good officers weren't enlisted and I would put our officers up against the Army any day of the week. 🙂
@jamesgrant I am aware of that - Marines never run from additional training or challenges. I doubt there have been many a Mustang Officer who regretted going through Enlisted Bootcamp first.
If general discharge ever reads this then hopefully he does an Air National Guard video. I plan on going in during collage that way prior to joining the air force as an officer ( I plan on getting a bachelor ) I want to be infantry ( security forces or special forces ) something awesome or something to come back with......to achieve something in my life.
You did say it but it's worth repeating that Marine Corps OCS is a screening tool. That's it. It's not supposed to teach you anything aside from some basics. The Basic School is a 6 month school where we learn how to be officers. Then you have MOS school after TBS. So you're getting a lot of schooling before you even hit the fleet.
I am very interested in joining the 75th rangers regiment and I was watching your other videos on the rangers and was not clear on what an option 40 contract was . Is it for officers and/or for enlisted and do you get it at look up recruitment. Any other info you be appreciated
As a kid, I saw an An Officer and a Gentleman and wanted to go through AOCS. Of course AOCS went away in 94 I believe, but I had picked up a two year NROTC scholarship in 1990 and earned my commission that way. Served twenty years as a Naval Aviator. Be it the Academy, :NROTC, or OCS, the end result is the same. Anyway, great video!
Aviation OCS did go away in '94, but part of it lives on in the fact that USMC instructors (I believe they are called Class Platoon Sergeants rather than Drill Instructors) serve alongside USN CPOs in training new officers, and in the fact that OCs receive their officer designator at the start OCS rather than at the end, as is the case with USNA and NROTC Midshipmen. Fly Navy!
Lima Company Class 86003. How long is the Newport Bridge? Too damn long sir! It's a big mental thing. My roommate dropped out. Those 3am runs were great. PT on the field with frozen goose poop that thawed out was great too lol. My biggest challenge was the swimming (burning oil, and treading water). Otherwise, keep your head, think ourside of yourself, and Navy OCS isn't that bad.
In the Army I am surprised how 90% officers got through BCT. I've met an overwhelming amount of officers between butter bars and Colonels that were more ate up than privates. Sadly most of the best officers I've ever met were all prior enlisted. Military has definitely went to shit
so how do the drill instructors who teach the drill instructor get trained? do they have a drill instructor school for learning how to be a drill instructor, instructor?
Drill instructors at least the ones that instruct enlisted basic training do have their own training it’s sort of like enlisted bootcamp all over again but taught how to be a DI and it is mandatory unless the E-5 ranked individual chooses to be a recruiter instead of a
i left ROTC cadet camp and saw National Guard OCS guys about to go into the field. I told them where I left a nasty poopie dump by the sand table kit in the STX lanes.
I know there’s always Friction between The Army and The USMC. With that said I have Trained with more than a few Marines and other Branches as well. But people often say that USMC PT is so much harder than the Army, I didn’t find that the case. I had 2 USMC in my Class for SAPPER Training and they were not in GREAT Shape compared to the rest of our Class. Yes they were a little older and I was fresh outta BCT/ AIT but I by far was not the PT STUD of our Class. My best 5 Mile Time was 35:05 and I finished in the Middle of my class. And whenever I got to my first PDS we had a few Ex Marines that joined the Army later in life. They, for a Lack of better words were a Joke. I will say this though, The USMC Officers I ran across , They were Top Notch 👍 Officers. My first PLT. Leader in the Army couldn’t even read a MAP 🤦♂️. He put us in the Middle of a live fire Range once, He got CHEWED OUT by an E-7. And never said a word 🤐.
I’ve met a couple marines in the Army too. Only one was a good Soldier. He was one of my Soldiers. . Two I worked with were mediocre and got moved to training shops. Then we had a CSM who was prior usmc. I guess he was legit when younger. Had tab but at the time was fat.
@@twinkieinyomowf6033 Well… I’m not sure about that “Cushier” part. The ones that I was around may have thought that, but they never admitted it. But they definitely weren’t expecting the 200 + Days a year either in the field or preparing for a Deployment or TDY. I’m not saying all Marines aren’t squared away and aren’t good, I’m just saying that The USMC isn’t any better or worse than other Branches. You have Turds in all Branches.
@@michaelmatthias9495 yeah again i would generally refer to my last comment. it might not hit the nail on the head 10 times outta 10 but its pretty damn close
@@outdoorswithroostercurrie6984 i think its the proportion of turds thats in question moreso than the existance of them.. but yes i agree with you to a degree
Even better, do something on the Rangers as they are now , Delta's kid brothers (if possible). If there's a Tier 1.5, or even 1.25, it seems that's what the Rangers have become.

Hi GeneralDischarge in the future will you make a video about the Australian SASR or the new zealand SAS ?
I would like to know more about the navy pay grade I tried to google but got so very confused
What does the E stand for ect
For Coast Guard OCS the reason why it was cut down was because they no longer make you go onto the Eagle.
The Eagal?
The Eagle is the Coast Guard’s training sail ship. I went through CG OCS and can tell you training on The Eagle was a complete waste of time.
@@Phantomwaxx I spent 90% of our time on the Eagle in my rack curled up in a ball trying not to puke 😅
@@Phantomwaxx it was, but the change of pace was welcome.
I’m an army drill sergeant and I can tell you for a fact there is no sleep deprivation for anyone except the drill sergeants lol. Trainees have a minimum hours of sleep and it’s like 7 hours
True we got alot
Nice
That’s more sleep than I get at home! Yay!
they never said anything about army candidates being sleep deprived because no one would have believed it lol

Glad to see the Corps is still the roughest.
I can’t thank you enough for this video. Just applied to Navy OCS and working on air force as well. Cant wait to see what they are like.
Thankyou for your service

Highest standards and biggest challenge being a healthy civilian
Yes I’m so excited I’ve been waiting for this video ever since the boot camp video! What a great day
I’ve heard coast guard OCS is the hardest for civilians to get accepted into.
That is correct specially now that is part of the department of homeland security

My PLC class lost 75%, so depending on the year, the cut can be severe. I attended in 1976 and retired in 2002 so much probably has changed.
Still pretty rough, my 2019 class had approx 60% attrition. The sergeant instructors still begin by stating it’s a screener.
"The Basic School"

Great video and content because it helped me understand OCS better than an other RUclips channels
Of all the Navy OCS pictures to choose from, I can't believe my class picture is up there of us down at the "beach" haha

Great vid. You guys should look at wocs too. Not as intense as ocs but they’re very similar and it would be interesting to see how the branches do it

But they definitely weren’t expecting the 200 + Days a year either in the field or preparing for a Deployment or TDY. I’m not saying all Marines aren’t squared away and aren’t good, I’m just saying that The USMC isn’t any better or worse than other Branches. You have Turds in all Branches.
@@michaelmatthias9495 yeah again i would generally refer to my last comment. it might not hit the nail on the head 10 times outta 10 but its pretty damn close
@@outdoorswithroostercurrie6984 i think its the proportion of turds thats in question moreso than the existance of them.. but yes i agree with you to a degree
Do Ranger history next please
Even better, do something on the Rangers as they are now , Delta's kid brothers (if possible). If there's a Tier 1.5, or even 1.25, it seems that's what the Rangers have become.
I hear part of AF OTS part of the curriculum is how to get a golf score of less than 36
