Its just those inevitable nervesYou'll have several candidates going with you in that class that have been here at HHC for a long time and will be able to help get everybody squared away. Try not to let the nerves get too bad, class really isn't too bad. Mainly just staying awake during class is the most difficult part...thank God for caffeine rights when you get them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaurus Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Tanner37 Just remember, the WOCS graduation rate will be over 90%. This isn't Ranger school. In the Army eyes, by you being selected, they expect you to graduate. They are counting on you in becoming a Warrant Officer and an aviator. Remember, be in the top 90%, not that difficult really.

CharyouTree Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Shoot...when I went through we had one guy get set back for academics, and one get ..."removed". The academics...I'll be honest. No idea how that happened. It was the first test. Nothing even crazy. Pass PT and pay a moderate amount of attention in class. You'll be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaWOFTCandidate Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 To prepare, I would suggest doing push-ups in the grass, Candidate! But really... it's not difficult, just tedious. The PT in some classes can be intense, and pretty lax in others. I was in the 7 week class 17-13 and our primary TAC loved to run, so we ran... a lot. Word is you don't even go to the field anymore (which was the most fun part). In hindsight, it doesn't make sense to have a bunch of WO's out running STX lanes in the field rather than focusing on the TOC, so I can see why they don't do it. Enjoy the friends you'll make, and the improved laundry folding skills you'll gain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Do they still do the WOCS Salad? (I think thats what its called..) You get back to your bunks to find everyones clothing taken out of their closets and thrown together in a pile. And ya have a little bit of time to get it all squared away before the TACS come by to check again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelsup Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Speaking of laundry... How frequently are you able to do laundry? I'm wondering if I should buy more than the minimum 3 sets of PTs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmurray Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Speaking of laundry... How frequently are you able to do laundry? I'm wondering if I should buy more than the minimum 3 sets of PTs...Laundry service is once a week. Per the WOCSOP there is a mandatory number of items required in your clothing drawers. I can't remember what the number for PTs was though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth every penny of the $125 or $150 it costs for 7 weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably should have remembered that since I was the laundry officer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes they switch your shirts with your roomates, and you don't realize until you downgrade in class and the instructor calls you by someone else's last name...

Looks like your class dates lined up perfect with holiday block leave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanner37 Posted September 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Maybe some active duty folks can help me out with this one, on the pre-reporting checklist it states you have to have a DA 2-1. But everything I've gathered throughout my current unit is that this is a reserve component form. And it seems like its basically an ERB but you have to fill out everything yourself. Any help is appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
