<p>I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out. I am really confused about how the training sequence occurs. I know first is OCS. After that it all gets really fuzzy for me. I think the SWO candidate then reports to Newport for SWO school… i THINK… after “basket leave”. How long does SWO training take place? I have heard all different kinds of things, from 3 months to 6 or 7 months. Also, does that initial SWO training after OCS take place on a ship, or is it land based?</p>
