That is a very open ended question.... What do you want to know?

I was always taught to ask open ended questions. Just what would someone expect to go through have Marine DIs instead of Navvy RDCs?

You have a class team made up of a Navy RDC, Marine DI, and Navy LT.
It's a 12 week program. The first 3 weeks are the more intense indoctrination. The middle 6 week block is the academic phase (naval history, engineering, navigation - stuff link that). The last 3 weeks are applied leadership, where you are actually teaching and leading the newest class through indoctrination.

Ok thanks so much. Yeah that is what I gathered from the website. Hope to find out first hand at some point.

Good luck. Theres another thread here that goes into more detail of what to expect week-by-week.

I am a corpsman here at the clinic in Newport. I really enjoy when the OCS kids fall asleep. I like to let them get reall comfortable and then yell "Good morning Gunny!" because the panic real hard. Or i just pretend i am sleeping too and like snore real loud while sitting next to them. Because they get it good, they get to drink and use their cell phones for their bootcamp.
