      Terrible answer, but it depends. If you are willing and able to redesignate, you will probably be redesignated, but the contract will be significantly shorter. If you are further along in the pipeline and fail out of a certain area (advanced or the FRS) there is a possibility to be redesignated to a different platform. But it is HIGHLY situational. Best quote I've heard "Someone dumber and weaker has made it through the same program." If others can do it, you can too. If youre already set on failing, you will not succeed.

    • @FaithByFlight
      @FaithByFlight 2 года назад

      For the UAV section, you are not using the stick and throttle. It'll be an image of a scene and you are given a direction that you are heading (lets say North). They will tell you to look for something in the North East corner. There will be letters corresponding to each item, so you would pick the letter corresponding to an item 45 degrees to the right of your location.

Gouge is simply handed down information from class to class that isnt standardized/written anywhere in issued publications.

  • @RegaDega

    I just graduated from OCS, all I can say is this presentation is truly accurate to my experience there. Just a few things I’d like to add on: 1) Don’t just practice the PRT exercises over and over again to prepare. Do leg lifts, burpies, running planks, and others on the Navy’s list WITH PROPER FORM. I’ve seen real fit candidates roll for bad form, and I rolled myself for improper push-ups on the IST. That leads me into the next point… 2) H Class is not a bad place to be; it might even be a blessing in disguise. You learn a lot down there, and those that make it through typically make the best CandiO’s. But just like its said here, don’t get comfortable and get stuck in H! 3) 13th week is your fun/out-processing week. You’ll do your class trip, staff-student challenge, orders/medical pick up, and lots of graduation practice. Enjoy it, but don’t get too complacent w/ procedures!
