Willhp Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Thats great news! Goodluck in school. I assume youre slotted for the 7 week course?From what Ive seen and heard here at Rucker, there wont be anymore 7 week classes. One of the test phase 5 week courses graduated yesterday and only had around 5 or 6 candidates not complete the course. With those kind of completion numbers, they will not run 7 week courses anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriek64 Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 that's a LOT of people failing WOCS! I can't even imagine how could anyone fail out of WOCS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willhp Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 that's a LOT of people failing WOCS! I can't even imagine how could anyone fail out of WOCS!Thats really not a lot of people when you consider the class size ranges anywhere from 85 all the way up to max capacity of 96 candidates. The biggest killer at WOCS is land nav, that is usually what gets the most people. You may have one or two get dropped for failing the academic tests but land nav is what does the most damage. I knew a couple people in that last class and they said the ones that did not graduate was bc of land nav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XIIGage Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Oh wow. Didn't expect land nav to take down people. Any suggestions for land nav or is it people that don't take it seriously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thedude Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Oh wow. Didn't expect land nav to take down people. Any suggestions for land nav or is it people that don't take it seriously?Just pay attention to the instruction, be methodical and take your time. Or just follow the trails through the woods and not use your compass like me. The difficulty comes from the non-combat MOS and street to seat soldiers who did land nav for the first and last time in basic training. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adriek64 Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 I was MI, so no Land Nav... EVER after basic. almost 8 years without touching a map and compass and still land nav was a piece of cake. if you can't pass land nav and the easy academics you shouldn't even be at wocs. What's hard about academics? Land Nav? they literally give you a satellite map with the roads on it. find 3 out of 4 and chances are 2 of those 3 are water points, which are clearly identified. I was terrified going into land nav just to find out it was a JOKE. Plus you get a day to get familiar with the Land Nav course. Our class started with 52 candidates and finished with 53. Not a single failure and added a wash back. You must try, and try HARD to fail WOCS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ask bc I went through this past Oct-Nov and they did away with the familiarization day of the land nav course. Now its 2 days of classes then straight into the land nav course.

The only thing you have to do before hand are the 2 essays.Thats what I thought. And the two essays will be on blackboard which I should get an email about when the time comes closer for me to head out Im sure? The welcome letter I got wasnt very informative, took me a bit to figure out the milsuite portion, and even then my class isnt up there since its not until next fy.

Any suggestions for land nav or is it people that don't take it seriously?All depends on the points you get. Most cards have points that are literally roadside. A few guys I know got some tough points or points incredible close to each other and they chose the wrong one. Dont make it hard on yourself, use the roads.

ElJay Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 They failed day one and everyone passed the retest. We were actually a trial class that didnt get a practice, so there were actually two retest days. I want to say you just get recycled for a land nav failure, but Im not totally certain on that.
