Stressful Meal at Midwest Marines Officer Candidate Prep?

[cobraz22]

Awe some of these comments make even some of the wanna be bad asses look like pussys, you guys couldn't take yelling, that's why you wouldn't join the marines, well I'd like to see what you would be like with a real DI this is just processing. This isn't even recruit training yet lol.

[spartan1171984]

Don't forget the stress is for the brainwash factor, for lack of a better term...

[darks3cret]

first meal, lol, "all available MTI's please report to chow hall"

[kingtorm2]

And thats why I'm not joining the Marines.

Know I now my cousin went through hell..

[Anthony20111024]

ive been looking for footage of the chow hall at MCRD Lol. memories..

[thecolaratlady]

I dont see the point in this

[USful]

@thecolaratlady There are about a hundred or so recruits in the actual boot camp and they need to feed them all, so swiftness is the key.

[thecolaratlady]

@USful ok i understand that part, but it's when they got to their tables, that's the part i dont understand

[USful]

@thecolaratlady idk, you will have to ask a person who has been it is, i'm just a high schooler thinking about joining the Marines.

You guys who have been through OCS .... did you eat "Square Meals", meaning NEVER look at plate, fork, glass, etc., only straight ahead. Anything you bring to your mouth has to move in right-angles, thus "Square". That was the suckiest part of the entire school. Any service-member knows in intense schools you're ALWAYS hungry. This sh!t caused you to lose every pea in your spoon, save for 1 or 2. Luckily it only lasted a couple weeks. Any longer and we would have died from malnutrition. :) :)

[MimmyJorgan17]

@offamychain We don't eat square meals are OCS. Based on being efficient, they want you to "shovel it in" as fast as possible. Feeding an entire company of candidates in about 40min is more important to them due to all the shit they have you do throughout the day.

[thecolaratlady]

@MimmyJorgan17 ok, so the point of moving the line so quick, having them eat faster then ive ever eaten crawfish b4 is b/c they have alot of ppl to feed?

[offamychain]

@MimmyJorgan17 Ooh, don't think those "square meals" afforded us any more TIME. From the time your butt hit the chair until you were downing the last drop of water in your glass was no more than 15-20 minutes. If you couldn't manage to get the food in your mouth ..... you just stayed hungry till next chow-time.

You quickly learned how to make those square motions with a very steady hand. :)

good apetite

[getalife67]

MOVE! FUCKERS MOVE!

[AudioAngerCinema]

Is it like this at parris island?

[TheSicdisaster]

@AudioAngerCinema Yes. That's just like the chow hall in bootcamp.

[ev1lcupcak3]

@TheSicdisaster actualy thats OCS and its in quantico VA

[TheSicdisaster]

@ev1lcupcak3 I know it is, I mean I went through boot and SOI and lost hearing lol. It's the same concept and same volume.

[skittlemaster15]

wow if ii become a marine ill be deaf :(

[TheSicdisaster]

@skittlemaster15 Yeah, I feel like I have lost some hearing since bootcamp and SOI/ITB.

[DeathReady4Ever]

Anybody see that movie G.I. Jane? remember the food fight scene? lol

[thecolaratlady]

@DeathReady4Ever lmao, that movie was sooo incredibly retarded

[23spacecase]

i cant wait!!!

[apc0300]

yeeaaa i think ima just do college nrotc (marine corps option) :p

[SamHagagaga]

@apc0300 You do realize that they have to go through OCS too, right?

All Marine officers who aren't Academy graduates go through OCS. NROTC just sends you through the six-week OCS that's usually for enlisted Marines who want to commission.

[apc0300]

@SamHagagaga Nrotc cadets get their Officer Candidate School done over the 4 years course of college, after their 4 years, the senior class gets their 2nd Lt. ranks in a ceremony. they do not go to Quantico for OCS. Non Commissioned Officers in the marines who want to commission to officer dont go through rotc what so ever, they apply for a leaderships course to be eligible for Lieutenant, which would be the sex week course u mentioned. they only way they'd do nrotc is if their in college..

[SamHagagaga]

@apc0300 Well, why does VMI boast that their Marine option NROTC people have a near-100% pass rate for Bulldog (the OCS for enlisted Marines and NROTC)?

[apc0300]

@SamHagagaga im not saying that nrotc cadets and enlisted marines dont do OCS, my point is, is that they dont do the same OCS thats in this video, the one in Quantico Virginia being the one that you would go to if u DID NOT do nrotc in college

[SamHagagaga]

@apc0300 NROTC and enlisted Marines go through OCS in Quantico.

Quantico has three different types of OCS:

A single ten-week session for college graduates

Two six-week sessions, done the summer before and after one's junior year

One six-week session, for enlisted Marines and NROTC midshipmen

[Runaholism]

Really? Just salad? (sigh)

[usmarinecorpslover]

Congrats at becoming a 2nd lt in the usmc.

I salute You.

[legalperivian11]

Just graduated from OCS, great experience I hope you finish

[TheMossrig]

@legalperivian11 Still in College or are you a 2nd LT now?

[poolie626]
