Do Navy Officers go to Boot Camp, or they go to Officer Candidate School straight after applying??
if they don't go to Boot Camp, where do they go for Military Training then. coz in Officer candidate school, its only class work
 
They go to OCS which is ran by Marine Gunny Drill Instructors, they will pretty much make your life living hell.
 
They go to OCS...if you are in the Baccalaureate Degree Completion Program and drop out of OCS (DOR) you will be sent to Great Lakes for enlisted training.
 
Not unless they were enlisted first. The Navy has two different officer schools. If they are Line officers (engineers, supply, etc) they go to OCS. If they are Staff Officers (doctors, nurses, dentist etc) they go to OIS which is Officer Indoctrination School.
 
If you're just some joe-on-the-block, who woke up one morning and said, I think I'll be a Navy Officer, then no.

Navy OCS is much tougher than Navy recruit training, and the standards to get in are higher.

The only military branch that requires Americans with no prior military service to attend basic prior to OCS is the Army. If you wash out of Marine, Air Force, or Navy OCS, you go back to working the fryer at McDonalds with a stamp of failure on your forehead forever, however, if you wash out of Army OCS you have a three year enlistment commitment.
