USMC Officer Candidate School

January 27th, 2009 | 2 Comments | Posted in United States Marine Corps

Here is a video that was brought to my attention by my son Pat, who will go to Quantico, Virginia this May to attend OCS. This is the screening process for the young men and women who have made it through a whole series of screens to get as far as they have. Several of Pat’s buddies who started the process a little earlier than he did are already at Quantico.

The motto of the Marine’s Officer Candidate School is “Ductus Exemplo,” “Leadership by example.” The goal of OCS is to train, screen and evaluate officer candidates for commissioning in the United States Marine Corps.

I know we are all very proud of our military personnel and the sacrifices they make to serve their country. Best wishes to Pat and all the candidates from the St. Louis OSO as well as the other Marine Officer Selection stations around the country.
