[chadgarber]

Impressive!

[chadgarber]

Cactus Jimmy, are you a marine?

[cactusjimmy]

Semper Fi!

[scooniepenn]

Sir, did you go through OCS from the PLC or OCC program?

[cactusjimmy]

I was a Midshipman in a NROTC unit at Tulane. OCS was 12 weeks in between Jr. Sr. year. TBS was 6 months after graduation. Can't remember PLC or OCC.

[scooniepenn]

Yeah OCS today is either done through the Platoon Leaders Class or Officer Candidate Course. But damn, midshipman go to 6 weeks of OCS between junior and senior year today. It was a hell of alot longer when you went through sir.

[cactusjimmy]

Actually it was 6 weeks. You are correct. It's been a while. Never forget the Quigley though. Or the heat stroke hotness. Are you headed OCS?

[scooniepenn]

haha, yeah the Quigley. It seems like its been there since the beginning of OCS. There are Colenels out there who swam through it at one point. I attended OCS as a PLC Jrs this past summer. Its the program you got confused with sir; 12 weeks but spread out over two summers 6 weeks a session.

[Shaqpack609]

You went to PLC juniiors last year? this year I went through plc combined. What platoon were you in echo company, a couple of my buddies went through seniors this year

[scooniepenn]

India Co 1st Platoon/2nd Increment 2008. I don't return to Brown Field until summer 2010.

[Shaqpack609]

Did you happen to know a doyle or logan

[scooniepenn]

Doyle or Logan, doesn't ring a bell. I never held a company level billet, so for all I know, there could have been either a Logan or Doyle in one of India's other 3 platoons.

[Shaqpack609]

What aboout Miller, Bentley, or Driver

[scooniepenn]

Our PC was Capt Miller. I've seen Bentley on the white nametape on the back of our blouses, but dont really know him. Don't know Driver.

[Shaqpack609]

Sir? Why does everyone talk about the Quigley so much, I thought it was a piece of cake...SULE II was the beast

[ZoddTheNosferatu]

Shaq you're clearly from Atlanta, and it's Hogan not Logan. Which nasty are you?

[Shaqpack609]

Lol Dixon

[Parubhi]

Two words, well done.

[ElCapitan327]

hahaha it's funny because only in the 90's would guys that age be wearing plaid

[khalsasikh]

This brings back tons of memories. I was Charlie Co. graduated 10/94....6th Platoon. Major McFadden was our CO. Capt. Fetterolf was my SPC.

[leftyguitar85]

Its cool to see how it was back in the 90's...good stuff

[surferei]

this was nothing like my tbs experience.

[lcplblazer2]

Is this officer summer camp?

[cactusjimmy]

6 month summer camp, good times.

[michiganbm11]

what happens after these six months? do you go to your MOS or do you do your MOS while at TBS? BC im thinking about joining, I know you go to Quantico for about 12 weeks, I am just wondering what happens after that..Thank you.

[cactusjimmy]

You compete for your MOS during 6 months of war simulation as an infantry platoon commander. Than you go to MOS training somewhere else. Good luck!

[Prodigysportsman]

7599s don't compete. its going through the motions for those guys. i know one guy who dropped his pilot contract to go to IOC, and then to LAR. he got hit bad by an ied.

[KUMARINS]

[DukeandDoc]

[cactusjimmy]

Aye it is OConnor indeed, lad.

[mohawk58]

I was in that class but in 5th Platoon (The floor above) That was Chris. Good solid guy.

[mohawk58]
