Nope, nothing long. The paperwork is the biggest portion, that and waiting in 10 different lines as you get shots, blood drawn, sign paperwork, etc, etc. MEPS is pretty organized, tho, and they get you in and out as quickly as possible.
I went to OCS after MCT, and prior to my MOS deployment. I retired a 1st Lt in 1999.
Don't worry about the nay-sayers, even if you are activated, its part of your commitment. I'm sick of the "Oh, but I signed up with the reserves thinking I'd never go to war...(whine) (cry)..." people. You obviously know what you're doing, and I commend you for signing up during a time of war, it only goes to show that YOU are the type of person that the Marines are looking for. Ooh rah, future "Devil Dog".

PS: I believe we already discussed the guy that died at MCRD PI during swim training. Nothing new, recruits die in boot camp all the time. Hell, there were 4 major injuries and 3 suicides while I was in bootcamp. :P
