Training, Advising and Counseling (TAC) officers and non-commissioned officers from the South Carolina National Guard, 218th Regional Training Institute, 2nd Battalion, Officer Candidate School (OCS) introduced themselves to the Officer Candidates of OCS Class 71 during the opening for phase one at McCrady Training Center in Eastover, South Carolina, June 1, 2019. The TACs are responsible for training, guiding and mentoring the officer candidates through the course. It has become the tradition, signifying the official start of OCS, that the TACs will cause physical and mental stress for candidates through smoke, explosions, loud music, physical exertion and being drilled with questions or given orders by a screaming TAC. This is to cause, not only confusion among the candidates, but introduces them to the stresses they will face during the course and struggles they will have to overcome as officers. Phase one consists of two-weeks of training including a ruck march, physical fitness, drill and ceremony, classroom instruction and exams, land navigation, and leadership evaluations.
