CHECK-IN/TRAVEL TO OTC

Officer Candidate School (OCS)

Upon arrival to OTC, check-in wearing appropriate civilian attire on the Sunday closest to your report date at 0800. Ask the Base Security for directions for OCS check-in and follow posted signs that read "OCS Arrivals". This will take you to Callaghan Hall. Designated parking will be provided.

If arriving in Newport prior to the Sunday report date, you will need to make your own lodging accommodations as Officer Candidate School does not have the capability to house students prior to the designated report date. You can find lodging information at the bottom of the page.
