No problem. OORAH...I wish him the best of luck. Wish I had the maturity and the calling to serve at that age. Again, definitely talk to an Officer Selection Office...unfortunately, I've heard stories of guys going to recruiters who say they are the OSO but are not. Also you may want to look into NROTC-Marine option units. That's something I didn't realize until it was too late. I'm glad I went through the process my way as I got to live a normal college life, but having the college funding certainly is a plus. And if you're extra motivated, you'll enjoy being able to go through training while in school....and those NROTC units really do prepare you well (for OCS)...from what I've seen.
and Happy Veterans Day to all!

Sounds like you are well on your way to being a great officer. If you are able to keep that mind set and remember that the troops in your command are solely your responsibility no matter what the mission you and your Marines will be ok. I have had the opportunity of seeing the very Best and the very worst that the Marine Corps has to offer. I will opt for the very Best all of the time. Thankfully when the life was on the line the OIC happened to be one of the best. My best to you in the future sir.

Today's Washington Post had a pretty accurate article on OCS. Well written and front page no less! IMO, the reporter surprisingly captured some of the feelings of candidates pretty well, so it might be some good gouge for those interested in going to OCS. Part 2 will be in tomorrow's paper or online. There's a link to a fairly decent video as well.

Anyone, How do they decide when your going through flight training which aircraft you will fly? Is it merit based or do you have some choice? Im currently enlisted as reserves and am waiting for response on the NROTC scholarship. I have gotten into the University of MN so not sure how ill end up with everything. And lets say I don't get the scholarship but still go to a school with it, does everything still work the same and I just already attended bootcamp or how does everything work that way?

what the crap are you asking?
as for you finding out if you're fixed or rotary that's after your A school or whatever the first school is. I've heard is luck of the draw there as well as vision and medical requirements. If you want to know you'll have to wait or ask your OSO AFTER you start college.

FY10 MECEP selections are out, as are the board stats. It was more competitive this year as they only selected 29% vice the traditional 50%.

If there are any folks on here who are presently or have previously gone the route of PLC, I would be very interested to hear about the expectations of the student going in. As well, I would appreciate any kind of insight on what the process of initiating talks with a Officer Selection Officer to get the ball rolling is like.
I had only recently learned of this program and would love to know more but I hesitate to bother the Officer Selection Officer before I'm more familiar with the particulars of the program.
Thank you.

How about saying...are there any Marines, not are there any folks.
And try using the search bar on PLC and OSO.

Hey man, www.MarineOCS, has exactly what your looking for. The majority of your questions could probably be answered on first page and/or stickied threads. Go register over there and spend an hour or two searching the PLC forums. Make sure you follow the rules, post and intro and use the search bar though.
Good luck!
