Navy Officer Indoctrination School tips

[navygirl]

Hello,

I'm leaving for OIS this weekend. I'm a bit nervous, as I have no prior military experience and don't know quite what to expect.

Any tips to make the next 5 weeks easier would be appreciated!

Thanks to all who respond.

Hello,

I was just picked up for the Medical Enlisted Commissioning Program, to be a Navy Nurse. I am in the Navy already; I will transition to the Officer community once I complete my nursing degree in the fall. I already hold an undergraduate in Health Care Management and currently working on my M.B.A.

I will be attending ODS, this is all new to me; and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on what I should be doing to get ready for training. I am on their website now; and I have also downloaded a running program from the site as well.

All tips are appreciated, I look forward to hearing from you all.

you may want to pull up a search. I know a few people just finished ODS in October and November that posted there experiences. Congratulations and Good luck!!!

I am currently enlisted and I will be going to OIS in June sometime after I take the NCLEX.... ANy tips for me. I am really paranoid although I have been military for 11 years... Is it like bootcamp all over again? I am worried about the PT too since my knee is bad. Im dealing with the chunky part of my life right now being in school full time so I am trying to lose before I go. I hear they are harsh about that. Any extra tips? Thanks!
