@POWohnomypants From my knowledge, it would be pointless going enlisted after college because you can just become an officer while you are IN college. Recon Marines are a whole different thing, those I think you just show you can take a beating and push through anything bootcamp offers you but I have known of people that are "picked from the streets" and become Recon Marines. Talk to an OSO, not a regular recruiter about all of it though.
@POWohnomypants If you are not sure about becoming an officer or want some exposure to the Marine Corps first then it is possible to do OCS later on after enlistment. But weigh your options first before being set on enlisted first. As for the Recon you'd have to work your way up to that.
@sjoerdBloks you would have to become a citizen, first you need to be resident with green card then live 5 years straight (thats what im doing im already a citizen) but i originaly came from brasil
@09supersoccer1 Yes you can major in anything. You are slotted were the Marine Corps needs you not by what your major was. Meaning your major could be oceanic Biology but the Marine Corps may slot you In Motor Transport. They slot you were they need you not by were you wanna go. Unless of course you have a contract before they own your ass
No, those are for billets. At OCS you will hold a certain job (e.g. Candidate Platoon Sergeant, Platoon Commander, etc.) and the ranks on red felt distinguish you from the general population.
Anyone else that's actually been there laugh at the half awake candidate at 1:23?

Prior enlisted Marines who trained to be an officer at at OCS, where is their commissioning ceremony took place?

@POWohnomypants Yes, but you may have to wait a few months, depending on when you graduate from basic training.
@sjoerdBloks You have to meet certain extra requirements before you can join.
love the video really good

wait...so if you go through OCS as a prior enlisted you get to wear your chevrons? Is that what the chevron over the red tape is in the video @ 1:00
Noel Alvarez no I'm almost certain those are actually billets.
