"Day Five" of Navy OCS

 

 
Day Five (Thursday) You may spend most of the day today at PSD (Personnel Services Detachment) filling out paperwork, getting ID, etc. Again, today is another day that starts off easy. You will have an opportunity to interact with the people in your class. Spend time studying and relaxing. The majority of the day will be spent on briefs and meetings of sorts.

 
You will also spend a lot of time with your Class Drill Instructor drilling. Whenever you are being instructed by your Class Drill Instructor, stand at attention, do not speak, do not move, keep a thousand-yard stare and never ever touch your face. Again, nothing you do will be right and invariably somebody will reach up and scratch their face and the entire class will be doing push-ups in the grass – relax, it happens to every class.

 

 
Swim Day:You may go to the pool today for a pre-screen for the 3rd Class Swimmer’s test you will take in Week 2. This is a chance for the instructors to look at your class and determine if there is anyone they think that will have trouble with the test. Do not worry about this pre-screen or even the test next week. It is not difficult at all; anyone with any sort of experience being in the water will be able to pass this test. This is the least of your worries at this point.

 
Locker for Outpost:You will spend this evening preparing your locker for Outpost. Do what you can in preparation for Outpost. It will seem confusing and hectic. However, realize that unlike the real 3rd week Room, Locker, and Personnel Inspection, this is not graded, and you do not have enough time to prepare. Your Drill Instructor will quickly go over how your locker should be arranged and items folded.Do your best to accomplish everything, but remember that the evolution the next morning is not graded – that means you can only fail if you give up during the RPT of outpost.
