OCS Graduation

[@howellwong11]

I don't remember much, but it was in an auditorium very much like this one at Newport. I entered boot camp in San Diego on Feb 11, 1956 and got my commission on Oct 10, 1956. I was truly a 300 day wonder. There was one black, one Hispanic, two Chinese and 3 part Hawaiians in my class of 700 candidates, so the times have changed.

From a 1972 graduate of OCS Newport, well done and good luck. This video brings back a lot of memories although we did not have a class photo. A big moment in my life and the beginning of a great experience as a naval officer.

I was a 1974 graduate of OCS Newport. Echo your sentiments and good wishes for this young man. We didn't have a class photo either.

@@skeptock3205 I still think about my service a lot. I also have a recurring dream that I am on a ship, but I either have no uniform or I am in uniform but missing my hat!!!

Just finished MEPS and started the paperwork to put in my packet. You give me hope. Driven to become a commissioned officer.

Good luck Alex! That is my son in the video. Today he is an aviator piloting the E6. Enjoy your journey 👍🏽👍🏽

[@AlexZ-lc6nl]

@@eyespy505 thank your son for his service and thank you for allowing him to serve, sir. I am going for the HPSP/HSCP (healthcare professional scholarship program). I am hoping to be a doctor and an officer in the navy. My dream is to work in the USNS Mercy or USNS Comfort and serve my country.

[@eyespy505]

Not an official OCS video…just a proud parent enjoying watching my son graduate. My utmost respect for anyone serving this country, including my son who is now deployed as an aviator. 🇺🇸
