  • The path to becoming an officer in the Marine Corps begins with your Officer Selection Officer (OSO). An OSO's duty is to identify worthy officer candidates who will become capable of commanding and of leading Marines to win our Nation’s battles. Once you have made the commitment to become an officer, your OSO will guide your physical training regimen and otherwise prepare you for the challenge of becoming a leader of Marines.

    About the United States Marine Corps:
    The Marine Corps defends the people of the United States at home and abroad. Within every Marine is the willingness to engage and determination to defeat any adversary, and it is this fighting spirit that allows us to fight and win our Nation’s battles.
    The mission of the United States Marine Corps is made up of three promises: We make Marines, we win our Nation’s battles, and we develop quality citizens prepared to fight and win battles.
    You don’t join the Marines-you become one, forged in the crucible of training aboard our recruit depots on Parris Island, South Carolina, and in San Diego, California, or through the dedication required of officer candidates at Officer Candidates School in Quantico, Virginia. Beyond the physical requirements, aspiring Marines must prove they have the honor, courage, and commitment to face and defeat any obstacle.
    Today, more than 180,000 enlisted Marines and 23,000 Marine Officers serve in active duty or reserve forces on bases and in communities around the world, proudly carrying with them the core values of the Marine Corps.

    My OSO recruited me and I never saw him again. I went to and graduated from OCS in 1982. I thank him for giving me the opportunity. He was not there to babysit me.

      First bit of advice, lose that “Captain” tile unless you are one (I.e. an actual airline Captain). Second, capitalize Marine Corps.

      I’m joining soon as I can, for the experience in the civilian world, and opportunity to be one. It really is as simple as “Where do you want to be during and after.” My brother served Navy for four years and is very well prepared working at a defense contractor. Me? I haven’t broken 50k yet and I’m 28. So where you want to be is what you should focus on.
