Guide to passing OCS
Grad requirements
1st class pft with the minimums
Don’t be fat
E-course(Depends on the CO so just pass it Ig)
6.2 mile hike(Maybe? No one failed so it wasn’t really testable)
Leadership:
Probably the hardest one no joke because it can be really subjective outside of sules/lrcs depending on your instructors.
My advice lock in for your leadership events and be a good dude and you should be good
Academics:
These are all at best 8th grade level test, however you have to read the actual chapters because the classes don’t give you all the answers. Use your time to study a little bit and you will be good
Physically fitness:
Outside of the actual pt events the pt themselves are not graded. However if you keep falling out you will be put on physical fitness probation.
The first half before your final pft is very cardio heavy every pt is a run.
So if you come in running a 23:40 or something I promise you, you will be fast asf by the final pft.
Speaking of pft the trail is like really 2.75-2.9 or something so if you cutting it close on an actual 3 mile don’t worry about it too much.
After your final pft you switch mainly to cft and E course prep so a lot if boot and ute runs and stuff.
YOUR PFT SCORE DOES NOT MEAN NOTHING. So many studs gave up and a lot of 18 minutes failed the E course and stuff. Its all about your mental fortitude.
If you want me to go into detail about anything besides the forge lmk I will be glad to answer all questions
