I know you did this video a year ago but even though times have changed, they really haven't. I've watched some of your content, and although I went through in '88, the structure of the course really doesn't appear to have changed much. I had the benefit of NROTC and a strong unit to prep me, but I'm glad you have put these out to help the candidates going forward. Social media wasn't something we could have fathomed in those days.... :) Semper Fi! FWIW, I have no idea what billets I had...lol, but Got stuck as Company XO our first two weeks at TBS, all the regular officers that were stashed at TBS had the luxury of all the "good" billets the first two weeks (It was more like 4 because we started a couple of weeks before everyone else showed up). That said, I got mine out of the way.

Times have changed. During Bulldog (6 weeks) in 1986, finding yourself in a Company billet meant that you were on the bubble to be brought in front of the CO of OCS to be dropped from the course. These billets were used to build a paper trail to document substandard performance. I think I was a squad leader once or twice and that was it. I don't recall being given any prior notice or formal debrief on the score after holding the billet.

This isn’t entirely off - there were some who were put in these roles as seeming “exposure” to leadership deficiencies (from my observations, I was not/am not a staff member at OCS so I cannot confirm this), however, this wasn’t always the case. I found there was much more of a mix, perhaps to disguise the tactic, as there were some good leaders placed in these roles too

10-week OCS summer 1976. 1st, I left my UNLOCKED rifle in my UNLOCKED wall locker. Weeks later, left my wall locker UNLOCKED again, but with rifle locked inside. Our Sgt Instructor was a Corporal and he made me pay dearly till I was levitating both times. When assigned, I aced the squad leader and Company CO candidate billets. Huge mistakes can be overcome.

This guy looks and sounds like Matt Ward if he became a Marine instead of joining the Army
