What are OCP's?
Some sort of new uniform. Operational Camouflage Pattern. Different pattern with minor changes.What are OCP's?
I believe that is correct.I received an appointment a while back but I haven't accepted it yet. Just keeping options open. I guess you have to accept to get the info packet because I only have the sample oath.
Does anyone have experience with any of the boots? I'm not sure which to get. Also how do I know if they fit as they should? I don't want to be issued new ones at the academy if they see that the ones I already broke in don't fit as they should.

If you have accepted your appointment, you will soon receive a "boot letter" that tells you exactly which boots you can purchase for Beast (usually ~3-4 options). If you are close to a base, you can take the boot letter and try them on/purchase at the PX. If you are not close to a base, you can purchase online -- my DS had to purchase and try on a couple of pairs to get the right fit. The new boots don't need as much breaking in as in the past. You do need to get your low quarters before Beast and break them in -- these are dress shoes and much stiffer, especially if you're not used to wearing dress shoes. Not sure about the c/o 2020, but for c/o 2018 all new cadets were issued a pair of boots (and low quarters) at the beginning of Beast. Wait for the boot letter! I know cadet candidates are anxious to get started on everything and start purchasing things -- you will receive info directly from WP on what you NEED to purchase and what you are allowed to bring.

That was not a form on my DS's portal.
It's under "admissible" along with the acceptance packet and the dental instructions

He just printed the acceptance package with dental, police check etc. There was not anything else there. He just accepted today though so maybe it will take a few days.
Did your son's portal end up updating with the boot letter and other forms? I accepted my appointment before this past weekend on Friday, but I don't see a boot letter under admissible.
