Hello, I am in the process of creating a package to join. I just want to know did you have any prior military experience or anything that made you stand out on your package?
@@MynehiaDenisyou don't need prior enlisted to help. Certainly you get a leg up not much. What will help you is depends on your degree. It might not be needed but can you learn something new that they need. Have a great GPA. The cleaner your record is the better. And be able to get a great score on the ASTB or the AOR.
For those interested in going to OCS, make sure you are training the right way beforehand. I did a lot of long distance running, thinking that endurance training would help; and it did a little, but what the Navy really wants is speed. HIIT workouts are what you want to do. Burpees, high knees, lunges leg lifts, bicycle crunches, squats, sprints, pushups, planks, and core, make sure you have a strong core! I did not and had unnecessary difficulties . More importantly, make sure you are training with correct form. Focusing your efforts on HIIT workouts and core exercises will make your life a little easier and help you pass the events and avoid unwanted attention from the instructors. Most of the program is focused on HIIT workouts and I wish I knew that before I went. It's not an easy program, but many of the people who don't graduate don't make it because they quit. Just don't quit, be a good teammate, always give your best, and there's a decent chance you'll make it through! Hooyah Class 15-23!
I was running 6 miles every other day and throwing in a 10-12 mile run a few times a month. The endurance I gained from that did help at one event, but I lacked the speed that the instructors demanded the rest of the time. Could I have prepared better? Absolutely. I would have done more HIIT workouts-which as you know is how you improve your speed-and strengthened my core more. We never ran more than 2.5 miles at a time while at OCS, so most of the time long endurance wasn't a factor
@@ChrisTurner-xj9wi Thanks this is good info. BTW, I retired a few years ago and was asking for a young man who wants to join. He has a degree already and wants to become an officer, but he is going in as enlisted. I will let him know everything you just said.
That simulator with the room flooding is a great idea, that way you don’t panic if that situation ever occurs in real life. Did y’all have Marine Corps DIs too? I’m planning to go JAG but this looks like fun compared to USMC boot camp 😅
When I graduated from Army OCS in 1969 after the ceremony all of us new 2nd lieutenants filed out of the auditorium through a single door. The sergeant major of our OC company was standing there to be the first to salute and collect a dollar from each of us!
Im here, doing researvh for what OCS will be like... Watching this video scares me but also excites me. The physical stuff, the yelling.. scary.. The leadership opportunities and working as a team is exciting!
First, thank you for your service shipmate. I commissioned 35 years ago as well. OCS was “16 long long weeks” (if you were there, you know what I mean). OCS today is 13 weeks long, and Marine drill instructors are an integral part of military training. Back in my time, Navy Chiefs were battalion chiefs. We had Lieutenants as Company and Battalion officers, and the structure was INDOC for first two weeks, Junior Officer Candidate for weeks 3-8, then transition from juniors to Senior OCs (picking up next batch of INDOCs) and running companies/battalions/regiment until graduation. Aviation candidates were accessed at NAS Pensacola (11 week process, if I remember correctly). Whether you accessed under the old system or today’s system, the training was challenging. You felt proud to have earned your commission, and the subsequent career was rewarding for me.
Now if only the Navy could be bothered with taking care of its enlisted side. Did yall know the USS Nimitz *STILL** has JP5 contaminated water? Oh, let's not forget mold all over the 7th fleet and sailors practically crying for help. Mental health? Nah. Let's pull CAT4 poolees instead of fixing retention.
“Most of us have more in us than we realize” This rings so true. If you ever want to do OCS, have at it. You’ll surprise yourself. I know I did. 05-24! One crew, one screw!
@@Chipkrate they roll a lot of people for many different reasons. If you fail an event they put you in the class beneath you so you basically get to stay an additional three weeks. It’s not that bad I personally rolled RLP and had to stay that bit of extra time. In the long run it’s not a big deal I actually had a better selection for ships in the class I rolled into to it really wasn’t bad at all.
@@flanagamer Navy enlisted bootcamp is 8 weeks and only Recruit division commanders red ropes. Rdcs could be male or female over an integrated division or all male division. So I had 2 male 1 female rdc all male division unlike the marine corps where men and women are trained separately. Navy OCS has always been 12-13 weeks and has a class officer, an RDC, and a marine di with 1 previous tour at MCRD PI or SD. Marines have run in Navy OCS since the 80s I think. And marine OCS from what I heard it's more physically demanding ie their endurance course than Navy OCS and MCRD but DIs cannot wear their campaign covers and beat the f out them and be in their faces because those 2nd LTs will be over the gunnery sergeants in the future. They say you need to run 3 mile around 19 minutes for Marine OCS. The top of the bell curve for marines would be what 23 mins? The marines dont want the love hate relationship at all, that navy officer candidates have with the DIs. At the end the DIs are loved.
Retired Mustang. 2 Types of sailors in the Navy. Firefighters >>>>> Swimmers. Don't lose track of WHY you are here. The Chiefs and Warrants are a treasure trove of knowledge and leadership. Utilize those resources.
When I went through OTS, there was a lot of competition and running. They change it from time to time but academics is still the king. The AF officer must be able to do paper work, staff work and deal with senior officers. The only Non-Com we ever saw was a Military Training Instructor for drill and ceremonies. Most of the prior enlisted could march and do all of the basic training stuff so our flight got over. I hated every second I was there but I made it all the way to Lt. Col. so according to the stats, I had a successful career. The only thing lacking was how to effectively supervise Jr. NCOs, mid level and work with senior Non-Coms. In the real service, few people have time for that kind of training. Pilot training is like going to medical school, Missile Launch Officer school is almost as bad but not as much fun. AF security Forces catch pure hell in the physical fitness area but in the field all of that takes a back seat to the actual mission. But I wanted it so bad I could not just taste it, I could see nothing else. Good luck no matter what you pick.
This is just OCS. After OCS you'll transfer elsewhere and study for your specific officer role. 3 months in OCS then at least 2 months studying for your role. 5-6 months total seems reasonable, no? Past 6 months, you're at the point of diminishing returns. You'll learn even faster on the job at that point than you would if you kept studying
As a formal sea cadet which was in Newport RI. I am highly considering naval OCS. I’m 26 working full time. Any advise out there? Qualifications/ what should I do to prepare? Etc
Great video, but it would help if recruiters would email you back faster than a month, or not ghost you completely. Recruiting problem? More like a recruiter problem.
@@DefinitivelyDenise that’s a BS excuse. I was enlisted for 6 years active and 2 reserve. In the fleet it would be unacceptable to act like he way officer recruiters acts.
Is there a certain degree that makes you more desirable to get into OCS? Just got through boot camp and am a reservist so that I can get my degree and then apply for OCS going active duty
Short answer is no. Longer answer is any unrestricted line officer job doesn't have a requirement, while others like supply or CEC might have certain prerequisites
@@joelwillis2043 it's obvious you haven't commissioned through OCS (or maybe at all), since degree tiers is an ROTC thing. Again, unrestricted line (SWO, aviation, special warfare, Nuclear) don't have specific degree requirements. Other countries communities (supply, CEC, etc. may have degree requirements). If you don't believe me, Google "Navy program authorizations" to see exactly what is required for every designator from the source.

USNA is a glorified version of ROTC, OCS is for more specialized careers like law, med, and dental. ROTC and service academy cadets commission as O1, while OCS grads typically commission as O2-O3. This differs a little based on your branch.
@@jineshshah9400 A bit of nuance past that. ODS (Officer Development School) is as you mentioned. OCS Graduates come out as O1, just like NROTC or USNA. They are unrestricted officers too. The difference is pathway. It's people who got a degree elsewhere and commissioned rather than earning a commission through collegiate programming.
@@joeypicard2756 You are correct. I graduated from OCS at Newport, RI in Oct, 1956. I went through regular boot camp as a draftee, but had a degree to fast track me into OCS.
My buddy was prior-e Marine, Aviation Ordinance. Went to Embry Riddle after Marines then went Navy OCS for flight school. There’s more prior-e Marines in the Navy than you’d expect. Me? I’m more rare. Army prior-e to SNA.
Walk into a recruiting office or go online to the navy website. It’s a longish process some designator take longer than others. I know aviators usually take over a year from starting the process to getting to OCS. For me it probably took around seven months from first meeting my recruiter to showing up. More time to prepare though which you will definitely help you in the long run.

The good Chiefs will take an ensign under their wing and teach them how to be good division officers. I’m still friends with Chiefs from my ensign days. Even though I was a Mustang (prior enlisted), I learned a lot about how to lead my people from some great Chiefs. Chiefs run the Navy is a true statement. They teach and mentor junior enlisted and junior officers, and become trusted counsel to middle grade and senior officers - at least the good ones do.
Why do you have to a degree to be an Officer. Maybe you couldn't go because of money so where does that leave you, out in the cold. There are a lot of smart people with no degree.
They’re actually not. It’s the NWU Type III uniform. The Navy transitioned away from the blue NWU I uniform that you’re probably thinking about in 2019. The NWU III colors are actually lighter than the Marine Corps woodland utilities uniform.
Spoiler alert: Women have standards lowered for them, because when an enemy is engaged, said enemy will always ask who's in charge, male or female? If the answer is female, the enemy will take it easy on her.

Whoa this training is terrible, screaming at someone to get them motivated is breeding poor culture. The best leaders are the ones who keep calm and never raise there voice. Doing this at boot camp is promoting the culture to young officers that it can be used.
The intense screaming is only like the first 3 weeks. There is tons of 1 on 1 mentorship you receive, and you are well respected the further along you go through the program

Go to your local recruiter and apply, you take the qualifying test (the OAR) and submit other stuff too (transcripts, LOR, etc)

How long does it take to go to OCS? From contacting your recruiter?
I wish I would’ve stayed in college and tried to go to OCS but I don’t think they would’ve taken me. It sucks!!
Why wouldn’t they have taken u?

@@dylanroberts93 I see.
I quit the military job I was going to do 😅 0:45 0:30 0:53 0:53
You'll be seeing me soon.
How do you apply???
Walk into a recruiting office or go online to the navy website. It’s a longish process some designator take longer than others. I know aviators usually take over a year from starting the process to getting to OCS. For me it probably took around seven months from first meeting my recruiter to showing up. More time to prepare though which you will definitely help you in the long run.
Will this help me get through BUDs because I wanna be a NAVY SEAL and I only have one reason why I wanna do it and that’s to fight for the fallen brothers and sisters that are dead from the bombing blast on August 26th 2021 in Kabul Afghanistan

I can hear a chief telling an ensign to kick rocks 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The good Chiefs will take an ensign under their wing and teach them how to be good division officers. I’m still friends with Chiefs from my ensign days. Even though I was a Mustang (prior enlisted), I learned a lot about how to lead my people from some great Chiefs.
Chiefs run the Navy is a true statement. They teach and mentor junior enlisted and junior officers, and become trusted counsel to middle grade and senior officers - at least the good ones do.

Why do you have to a degree to be an Officer. Maybe you couldn't go because of money so where does that leave you, out in the cold. There are a lot of smart people with no degree.
If only the acceptance rate wasn’t so low
Why they wearing marine uniform
Good point!
They’re actually not. It’s the NWU Type III uniform. The Navy transitioned away from the blue NWU I uniform that you’re probably thinking about in 2019. The NWU III colors are actually lighter than the Marine Corps woodland utilities uniform.

Spoiler alert: Women have standards lowered for them, because when an enemy is engaged, said enemy will always ask who's in charge, male or female? If the answer is female, the enemy will take it easy on her.

Is this the world's gayest navy? my life has been a real drag... can i join?
I'm sorry but if the guy with the clipboard can be a Navy officer, anyone can be a Navy officer. He should not be shown is this video.
This is why the average American doesn’t join the military.
Finally, no woke crap.
Poetry reading, pronouns and lower standards for females.
How to become a Navy Officer? Simple you're not hard enough to be a soldier.
Psh hahaha yea ok
Go USNA

Whoa this training is terrible, screaming at someone to get them motivated is breeding poor culture. The best leaders are the ones who keep calm and never raise there voice. Doing this at boot camp is promoting the culture to young officers that it can be used.
The intense screaming is only like the first 3 weeks. There is tons of 1 on 1 mentorship you receive, and you are well respected the further along you go through the program
Screaming to get you disciplined, once your disciplined they calm down.
Don't go woke. We was kangs 😁👌
D o d d o t men women and others water and fire what about mother and her mother earth the order of men and the order of women
OMG where are their masks!!!
US Navy can fight small and weak countries like Australia Japan Korea or Iraq but can not fight Russia and India
You know the Marine Corps is a part of the Navy, correct? I'm fairly certain the DoN could wipe India and Russia at the same time
Japan and Korea are weak?
