If I am accepted into OCS in the CG, do I first go through boot camp?

I would like to join the Coast Guard, I'm looking at OCS opportunities because I have graduated college. I would like to know if OCS is similar to boot camp or if it requires you to first attend boot camp. Has anyone been through OCS recently? I eagerly await your story if so! Thanks!
EDIT : (resposne to Tyler)

I don't have a technical degree and my GPA is 3.2. The recruiter gave me a different story though so I'm still going through with it regardless of competition; I like competition. Thanks for answering my question.
Oh and I'm currently in the CG Auxiliary and think this will boost my chances of acceptance.
 
No OCS is your boot camp (except worse and they're trying to get you to quit)

Just because you have a degree doesn't mean you're getting into OCS though. Unfortunately for you, the CG is the smallest branch and has the least Officers/least amount of OCS spots, and guess what, everyone wants to join the Coast Guard because they don't want to deploy as much! Oh, and everyone wants to be an Officer because they think its better, so you have THOUSANDS of college grads applying for not very many slots. If you don't have a 3.5 GPA in a technical major, you aren't competitive, don't bother applying.
