OCS on the 2nd, Wish me luck.

[Sammyboy]

Finally, I get the chance to earn my right to be a Naval Officer.

if you're truly worried about OCS - then please DO NOT go and be a naval officer. Plenty of whiners like that are already in, and sadly (& due to the nature of their assignment) have the potential to make lives miserable for a lot of people.
OCS is nothing compared to the hardship of regularly long workdays, workup cycles, deployments, missing holidays away from family, stress, etc.
You should think of earning your right to be an officer something measured by the loyalty and devotion that you will give to your troops and your country, and not just about the little hardship you'll endure during ocs.

"Wish me luck" generally denotes a simple parting phrase such as, "bye", "see you later", etc. From what you extrapolated from that simple phrase is beyond me. Perceive my intentions as you will, but don't generalize a phrase to mean something you want. I know what I want, I know what I'm going to achieve, Hell....I know who I am.

I'm looking forward to OCS. So....Like I said "Wish me luck."

Good luck! Nothing more valuable than a good officer, Nothing worse then a bad one. Trust in your senior PO's And remember... Lead by example and know or know where to find the answers. "I don't know" is not acceptable from an Officer.

+1. Quite a few officers are really good at completely underestimating their people.

Dude, take the stick out of your ass and chill out. How the F did you take anything remotely negative out of "wish me luck" ?


Anyways, congrats and good luck OP
