My 4th of July will be better than yours...

[GhostRyder]

Hah, I have no illusions about my intelligence/experience. ROTC kids (like me) do one 6 week stint at OCS. No enlisted time, although I debated a long time before I committed to ROTC. So, I'll do OCS, finish my last year at Virginia Tech, then commission. After commissioning I go to The Basic School, then MOS school(s), then fleet. I know this is no bootcamp, but it will still be a good challenge for me. All of the senior noncoms I have met that get to work at OCS love it. They just get to blast all these arrogant, incompetent Officer Candidates all day for 6 weeks.

Anyway, I'll catch you all in August. I hope my humi lasts for 6 weeks without any check-ups :

You've got nothing to worry about. Drill instructors take it easy on officer candidates.

Semper Fi, and thank you for volunteering!

Wishing you well, brother... hope it is a great experience.

I'm only 10 miles or so up the road from Quantico. Could always stop by and enjoy the 4th with our family and friends - cookout, drinks and fireworks - and of course cigars!
