If you think this looks tough you should see what Marine OCS at Quantico is like...some very serious physical and mental demands there. In the old days before it became co-ed the final Go/No Go test was a timed 25 mile hump thru the hills around Quantico. I saw good candidates flunk out days before graduation by missing the required time by just seconds. Today with the girls participating the 25 mile hump has been dropped down to 12 miles and it is no longer a timed event.

The brass are the most PC woke crowd. They know what they are charged with. The politicians want females to pass so the generals jump to and assured them that females will complete the program. So thr message is passed down thst fe.akes will not be flunked and standards are adjusted to ensure the numbers are met. The Army Ranger course accepted and passed women recently. Then I read that women are not flunked out and can redo any portion they didn't pass just so they can graduate while males will be flunked or recycled. Then the commanders can say they didn't lower standards and what a wise concept to allow women in. When I was Airborne school in Fort Benning in 1981, women did not have to do th3 same PT standards as men, they didn't have to go into the gig pit, and they did their own running in formation.

Because Amphibious Operations are a joint responsibility, the USN & the USMC must operate together as if they were one service, even though each is actually a separate service. This is why USN instructors often train Marines, and vice-versa.

It’s still a tough program, but I personally believe they should work in more team building exercises in the curriculum.

After seeing this, I want to watch An Officer & A Gentlemen again. Does anybody know why do they have NCOs training men & women to be officers and not high ranking officers? That always puzzled me.

MEPS isn't really bad, there's just a ton of waiting and paperwork.

Class 42-74, GET ON LINE! Back when it was AOCS. OCS was in Newport. Two different animals. Now it's all in Newport I believe.

@eisen57 I'm pretty sure Marine Corps OCS is in Quantico, VA

All thanks to the Marines for putting discipline into the OCs.

I wonder how I made it. Class 29-69, SSG Timothy Rapes had a real job making officers out of a bunch of hippies. At the end, I loved it. The best part of my 32 years in the military (navy and army).
