It's not OCS, it's OIS. They are two completely different schools. OIS types are doctors, nurses, and lawyers. It's a limited cirriculum and taught by other Navy Officers and Chiefs.
OCS is a 3months course for aviators, SWO's, SEALS, submariners, intel, supply, engineers, and a few others. It's run mainly by USMC Drill Instructors.

I was enlisted from 1989-1998, Got out, had a good business etc. Why Navy, because they were the only ones accepting civilians into the program at USUHS. Basically O-1E pay to go to college there at Bethesda Naval Medical Center and a commission as an officer in the Navy, so my job technically is that of student for the next 4 years plus a 1 year internship, after that my job will be Clinical Psychologist.

Went like this.
Day T-1 Sat around, laughed and joked like it was summer camp.
Day 0 Same as Day T-1 except us prior service people were expecting Day 2's wake up call on Day 1.
Day 1 0500 reville - Height and Weight, marched us around to get oriented and inbriefed.
Day 2 0330 wake-up call - Real RDC's show up for the first time and harass us. Yelled at just about everyone but me and a few other priors who were smart enough to already have bunks made at 0300 and be in "uniform of the day" PT gear. Started in with the pushups. More running about base, Uniform Store.
Day 3 0400 Urinanalysis - Got yelled at for not being able to control my body and forced to drink 5 liters of water... pissed like hell the rest of the day. 1st day of PT in the afternoon. Passed 3rd class swim test that AM.
Day 4 0400 PRT (Physical Readiness Test) 40% failure rate. Nice. 2nd Fastest Runner was an Ensign named, get this... Ensign Ensign. Also happed to be one of the shortest girls here... runs like greased lightning (marathon runner.) Went to dental almost all day. Briefings the rest of the day after that.
Day 5 0400 Went to briefings, did more PT. Pretty busy day of briefings for travel benefits, english and writing bios.
Day 6 0500 Went to uniform store to get tailored uniforms. Got back, had lunch, got uniforms squared away, went down for inspection. Granted liberty for rest of Sat and Sun.
Day 7 0600 Got up "late" today.
Not too bad.
