Lindsey Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 They stayed the whole time. Flight school is a PCS. It must be different now than when you were here. Most (read: 90%) of the Guard/Reservists in my WOCS class went home afterwards, and are only starting to trickle in for BOLC in Aug/Sep.

magnus017 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I can confirm that at least a personal buddy of mine is an Army Reservist WOFT guy who graduated WOCS in the spring and got sent home (Carson/Co Springs). He ships back to Rucker in August or September to report for BOLC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamer Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 I hope you are joking. If you think NG has it any different at B co. you are in for a rude awakening.I speak of my current experience with bravo... Which is minimal. Yeah, it's different... Because we get to go home after our Tdy wocs and come back pcs when it's time to start class. No special assignments in that time. My active duty wocs classmates have all done funeral detail or flag detail at least once... Just in three weeks before bolc started. I have some classmates AD that don't have a bolc date until January 2015.... And they are being held to that... Where NG can go home and come back, they are stuck at bravo...

Yamer Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Damn. Times change. I stand corrected.Recently, the NGB changed it to a TDY for wocs and then a PCS back for the rest... Too many state funded pcs moves for wocs failures then pcs them back home.. (So I was told) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UH60L-IP Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 ...too many state funded pcs moves for wocs failures... You can fail out of WOCS? I would think it takes more skill to fail out of WOCS than to pass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electron_si Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Lmao, NG and USAR can find a way We didn't have anyone fail out of our class once we got picked up but we had 3 not pass the PT test, and 1 was active duty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyreaper Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 We didn't have anyone fail out of our class once we got picked up but we had 3 not pass the PT test, and 1 was active duty holy sh*t. While everyone should strive for 100s, just for my own perspective, what is the minimum for WOCS and is it different than RA standards?

Lindsey Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 The minimum is 60 in each event; same as RA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterRooster Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 WOCS graded ridiculously hard though. We had a girl that protested because she wasn't getting her push ups counted because she couldn't break the plane due to her chest being on the ground. I know for me, I had to break the plane or the wouldn't count. It was stupid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creep0321 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Sounds similar to airborne, I had a Ranger black hat count my pushups, they stopped us at the minimum, 42 I think it was, but he just kept counting 41 until I couldn't do anymore. Another black hat saw it, had me redo the pushups a few minutes later, and passed no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_P148 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Yeah that sh*t is ridiculous, badge protectors and stiff asses counting push ups. They do the same thing in pretty much all schools and there's no bias for different body types I.e long arms , short arms ect... I've found that my PT score is directly reflected by the grader, I could knock out 80+ push-ups but if you sent be to airborne school again I'd probably end up scraping by.

Yamer Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 We had a female fail tape for the pickup pt test... Then we have 6 not pass the pt test itself. All for "too hard" grading.... Then two got injured mid course. The rest graduated. The state is not going to pay for you to sit in a holdover status on a pcs move to wocs for like 4 months until you can get another 7 week class date... Active duty makes no different where you sit in holdover really... It makes no difference whether your ad or NG or reserve... Only one of the above mentioned fails were reserve component. The rest were AD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkstarx87 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I think our class had 5 people booted. One after about the first week (lacked leadership). 4 after land nav (who also struggled with leadership/additional duties) ... the rest of the second time land nav failures were pushed back a class. After other drops (security clearance/honor code) we ended up with like 30 or so graduate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it was for something worthwhile, like grabbing beer and a bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos or setting his fantasy football lineup, rather than just wanting a hot shower and a comfy place to sleep.

TachedOutOffRoad Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Rediculas nonsense like that gets you booted from flight school. If you can't be trusted with the small things, you can't be trusted with big things either. Idiot deserves it (if it's true). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cofranc Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 What determines if one goes through that cold weather survival training? Is that also taught at Rucker if it is during the winter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
