NEWPORT, R.I. (Aug. 18, 2021) Officer Candidate School (OCS) Class 16-21 students simulate subduing opposition forces during battle stations, Aug. 18. After completing battle stations, students earn the title of candidate officers and enter the final phase of OCS, during which they begin mentoring the new class cycles. OCS morally, mentally, and physically develops civilians and fleet Sailors into newly commissioned officers and imbues them with the highest ideals of honor, courage, and commitment for service in the fleet as Naval officers.
