The Commissioned Officer Training Academy, in association
with the Office
of Force Readiness and Deployment, wishes to extend congratulations
to graduates of the Officer Basic Course (OBC) 09-03.
OBC training is a 2-week course

of the U.S. Public Health Service (Corps). Officers learn about the history of the Corps and establish
a foundation of knowledge in preparation for their Corps careers.
