So I have pretty much been vacant form this website for some time, and airsoft as well. The reason being that I was training every weekend to go to USMC OCS in Quantico, VA this summer. Finally my hard work paid off and I got in.
aaaahhhhhhhhhhgh!

Good stuff. If you've never been to Quantico, you'll really like it. Its awesome. Don't know if OCS gets to run the indoor NVG course and shoot house but if you do then have fun with that. I've got about 20 different friends who did OCS. Biggest thing they said to do is not be an idiot and you're good to go. (Also in order to empty your magazine, don't fire it into the air. They will beat you.)

Hey congrats man. I was on my way to OCS through the PLC program,but pulled out of it for various reasons. While in it, I got to see some of the videos of some of the things they had to do. It looked intense, I'm sure your recuriter has told you plenty about it. From what I hear, mainly from officers who went mustang, its extremely different from enlisted boot. Its more of a isolation process to test your leadership skills. Anyways good luck with OCS and your career as a butterbar in the Marine Corp.
