how much of a difference is there between officer school and basic training

[studentcj]

Ok I've seen on the military channel and all over the net and just talking to people information on basic training. However; I've never heard anyone talk about officer school and the application process and what it takes to get accepted and the type of things that a cadet will do. I'm interesting in applying but its hard to find information without talking to a recruitor

OCS was a b!tch when I went through, but that was a long time ago. The calvary charges were the worst part.... they couldn't afford horses for everyone.......

I didn't think basic was all that bad, even back in 1964. You got yelled at a lot, but the DI's couldn't hold a light to my Mother....

The PT in OCS when I went through was 4X tougher than basic. A lot more running and general PT. I lost 20+ lbs in OCS. And there was a lot more individual pressure, I thought.

Someone who's been through it a lot more recently will have much better info. I can only give it from a historical perspective.

S-CJ, you can google Air Force ROTC or Air Force Officer Training School (OTS) and get a lot of data that way. I'm sure you can do the same for the other services. Lots and lots of data on the internet
