OK, AMA-AOCS is over, and frankly it would be really hard to explain it all due to the vast amount of sleep we did not get. So I am going to break it down into how OCS was applied because there is a great resource here on this site. We learned the same information, just a compressed version of OCS.
Ok I said I was going to wait until I was back.. then I thought I should talk a little about the NG process as it is different.
Really quick I just wanted to say that I will be keeping track of Accelerated OCS in AL Jan thru Mar (National Guard). I thought it might be cool to share the accelerated course with everyone. Because computers are not allowed and the course is fast paced (20 hours a day and 7 days a week for 60 days) I will just keep my notes and present them in Apr to include the Phase 0 we have for the National Guard.
See you in Apr!
You might notice a new link on the right: you are now able to post your own stories about OCS to this site, for all to read. My goal with this is to broaden the experiences contained here. You all will have different experiences than I did: perhaps yours will help someone else out more so than my own, or perhaps you have some bit of advice on a particular event that you think might help another soldier out.
Well, now you can submit these stories and have them posted here. Just use the link on the right side or click here to send in your story. I will of course review them all and then post them.
Let me know if you have any questions.
