    I went this winter, got to week 7, dropped due to pneumonia, OCS is tough. I won't be going back. Update, I might be going back this fall.

    Holy moly. I served in Afghanistan in OEF 12.1 with the Asian guy at the end of this video who was at the front of the formation. He's the one with seven ribbons on. I thought about reenlisting and was going through UA-cam to see what branches had the most challenging officer course and I guess this is a sign. Will have to connect with a Marines recruiting station to get started on the process.

    The tough thing about OCS is that the Sgt Instructors throw a lot of stuff at the candidates, the curriculum is the stress monster. As a Prior successful Drill Instructor and Sgt Instructor, I have to say Enlisted boot camp is tougher.

    Was thinking about going officer, ex-marine father wants me to do it too, but college just isn’t for me, and enlisted feels like home. I do agree in the long run, officer is probably the better route to go, but my heart is just set on enlisted. Any comments that will help me sleep at night haha?

    • @sriig
      @sriig 8 років тому +1

      +Zane Powless I am an enlisted Guard soldier myself, looking at the same thing. My understanding is that you have to 1) get in contact with an Officer Selection Officer (OSO) in your area...google it...2) if you're more than 6 months from ETS, obtain a DD Form 368, which is a Conditional Release form. The OSO will initiate this on his end and you will submit it to your command...3) do whatever you have to do to become a PT God...4) be persistent, hurry up, and wait! That 368 will take forever, and has to be signed off on by an Adjutant General (O-7). Yeah, its a long slog. But it is what it is.
      Best of luck to you, troop. Maybe I'll see you at OCS and we'll bless up as priors.

      @Blakwall 7 років тому +5

      Daniel Adams I hear very few are selected to do so.
      Your best bet is to wrap up your enlistment, get out, and knock out a college education as fast as possible. You'll be on the GI bill and receive BAH while you attend school.
      As long as you're cleared of any disabilities, didn't get NJPd, didn't get any tattoos that violate regulations etc. you have a decent chance of getting back in as an officer.
      Take those four to three years that it takes to get your degree as a break. It will give you time to analyze your decision too.

    • @ggamba9729
      @ggamba9729 5 років тому +2

      It's better to utilize your G.I Bill and get a Bachelors degree. And I agreed with you, disabilities are automatic disqualification. But having NJP for minor reason is not a show stopper, only tattoos that are not grandfather (meaning not cover by policy) will be another show stopper. Semper Fi SSgt.

    • @cm-pr2ys
      @cm-pr2ys 5 років тому +2

      Officer Candidate School. It’s the Marine Corps way of introducing people that want to be officers to the Marine Corps, as well as seeing if they have what it takes to be a officer. It’s not called Boot Camp, but it’s technically the officers form of enlisted Boot Camp. It lasts about 13 weeks in Quantiico, VA. TBS, aka The Basic School, is after OCS, where these new Marine Officers go through 6 months of training to lead a platoon of Marines in combat operations. No matter what job each Lieutenant gets assigned during TBS (based on their performance), they must go through TBS before going to their MOS school. Even if they are infantry officers. TBS is at Quantico as well.
