I went to the second to last regular O&I Class. They were pumping all of us guys thru. The ones who already had ANOC. I want to say 1997. After that ANOC and O&I were combined into one long course

Let me get this straight, O&I and ANCOC started out as seperate, then they were combined for a while, then (now) they are seperate again with O&I being morphed in to 18F. Man this is as confusing as verifying a VN era guy's QP status.

Yes they were seperate, then they combined. And yes it's confusing.I'm sure someone will come along and offer some SF O&I "history".

I don't remember exactly when they combined into the long ass course, but it was not too long before my class started in fall 1995 because we started in the old buildings on Son Tay and finished in the SOAF. We were not awarded the MOS 18F, we were just given an ASI "F" which later hosed a lot of guys and made us have to go back through the new SFISC to stay an 18F. I went through (I think) the 3rd class of SFISC in...hmm 2004? The fall after the Iraq invasion whichever year that was. A lot of the stuff was the same old shit (OB, OPORDS, Photography) but some of the computer stuff they have now is truly incredible in the hands of a good 18F.
