.....sheesh! For your knowledge I did do a little homework but turned up nothing. BTW, It was for my own curiosity and not meant for any kind of partisan bickering.
I happen to agree with you- you asked a legit q. But I will say that from your prior strident posts- people were entitled to think you were fishing, as you line up with some vets- wierd thinking vets, but vets nonetheless...
John Kerry enlisted in the Navy in 1966. After completing Naval Officer Candidates School, he began his first tour of duty on the USS Gridley, a guided-missile frigate in the waters adjacent to Vietnam. In 1968, John Kerry began his second tour of duty, and volunteered to serve on a Swift Boat, one of the most dangerous assignments of the war.
I don't know how Kerry got there but I do know, being a vets from that era, that you enlist 1st with the condition that you will go to OCS as a condition of your enlistment. OCS in my day was several months, up to 6, of pure Hell. I would be much more likely believe that Kerry went through Navel ROTC. It should be easy to find out by contacting or writing the Kerry folks. My .02
I was approached by some Officers that were impressed by my test scores and wanted me to enroll in OCS. I respectfully declined and stuck with my original choice. Young and dumb is all I can say, I should have taken them up on their offer.
