Anyone been to Officer Development School (ODS) recently or last summer?
Asking for a friend that will be attending ODS in June after graduating and commissioning but not having attended any ROTC or Academy.
ODS Website says they can purchase uniforms during the first week of training but ...
1) Would it be better to purchase some of the uniforms on the list that require tailoring prior to arrival?
2) Would it be better to purchase some of the working uniforms to ensure availability and fit prior to arrival?
3) Do they run out of common sizes at this Navy Initial training location like they do at the big Army training locations?
4) Do you recommend MarlowWhite or the higher end Navy Exchange Service Dress Blue Uniform (Brooks Brothers) or just get standard SDB?
Thanks
