The majority of this video is candidates conducting the Montford Point Challenge which happens during the final week of training. These candidates have completed all final evaluations and are graduating as 2nd Lts in a few days which is why appears "relaxed" and not so chaotic.
That makes a lot more sense. Was looking like a field trip compared to bootcamp 😂
This video seems REALLY focused on that one really tall candidate

I was in the Marine Corps 1975-1977. I was stationed at Camp Horno 2/1 1st Mar Div. I was in the STA PLT. My PLT Commander was prior Navy and went to Officer Candidates School Training I United States Marine Corps. Congratulations to all!! Semper Fi!
1:50, when being short has its merits
That’s called being a woman
@@towelietowel4513 how when she’s just too short to put the log on her shoulder?
I think you meant woman
I went through Combat Engineer OCS at Ft. Belvoir in 1968, right down the road from Quantico.
We started with 133. 66 were commissioned.
6 months OCS after 4 months of Basic and AIT.
Dropout at anytime you were immediately going to the Nam as a “Master Blaster” 12 Bravo.
First weekend pass was at 5+ months.
Essayons.
I extended on recruiting duty to be an Officer Selection Assistant, basically a SNCO processing applicants for OCS and getting them in shape. Most were appreciative of me showing up on their campus and working them out to ensure they were ready for OCS. Alot of Officer applicants were part of my ASVAB study sessions since they did not have an SAT of 1000 and needed an EL score of 115 on the ASVAB to qualify. I had an MBA and undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering so it was easy to help potential Officer Candidates sharpen their knowledge to get an EL of 115 on the ASVAB. By the way for the doubters and likely Marine Corps Officers reading this, no I did not earn my degrees in an online program and got them in the classroom at the University of Minnesota.
I was the first salute for the majority of the Officer Candidates I processed and still have the silver dollars from the commissioning ceremonies. Everything changed when the new Lieutenants finished the basic school and suddenly they knew everything and were special in the eyes of the Marine Corps. If someone asked them if they were a Marine they were insulted and quickly retorted they were not a Marine but an Officer of Marines. The Basic School instructs all new Officers that enlisted Marines are from broken homes and are lucky to have a high school diploma. This was verified to be true because the course curriculum was posted on the TBS website and I read the class materials. I saw this time and time again as the 2.2 GPA Sociology Major was suddenly brighter and more intelligent than I was because Marine Corps Officers at the The Basic School pumped this into their head.
The Marine Corps is a vast pool of talent and never be so bold to assume you are the smartest person in the room because someone will always prove you wrong, If your path is to be a Marine Corps Officer I applaud you and can’t wait for you to join the team. Please be humble and eager to learn from the Enlisted Force as equally as the Officer Corps. The Marine Corps is a single team regardless of rank so never discount another Marine’s input or abilities based on their path of entry. I am retired now but always tried to learn something from every Marine I served with regardless of rank.
You have an M.E. degree and close to enlist ?
@@jg0920 I joined the Marine Corps at 17 with a High School Diploma and completed by M.E. degree while in the Marine Corps. In the late 90's an applicant going the enlisted route with a Bachelor's Degree was required to interview with an Officer Selection Officer even though the applicant was intent on having the enlisted experience. Some would turn and opt for the officer route and a diversity mission applicant with a 4-year degree was never going to be allowed to go the enlisted route if they had the EL or SAT qualifying scores. I served with a lot of enlisted Marines who had the degrees before coming in and it was a personal choice for them to pick the enlisted experience over the officer route. More often than not they figured if the officer path interested them later on they could always apply for the enlisted commissioning program. There is also a myth that "Mustangs" make the best officers which is absolute garbage, had some great mustang officers and some terrible ones as well.
You Don’t need a high (above 3.5 gpa) to get into OCS?
I’m still debating whether I want to join Navy or Marines. I know more about Navy then marines. At the age 28 I have to make sure what I want and what I can qualify for
@@ttrraamm1001 Naw fuck that homie your wrong as hell. The best PL I ever slung lead with in OEF was an mustang so check yourself. Also man, GPA is no indication of an individuals intelligence or war fighting ability. Deep down you know This to be very true crayons.
And for the giant football player candidate the video is focused on, it doesn’t mean that he has endurance or is a strong leader. I’ve seen guys almost half his size bust out 25 honest pull ups without strain. Don’t judge a book by its cover. At OCS in Summer of 1981, the toughest DI was our staff sergeant who was the smallest guy there, literally like 5’6 and 145 pounds.
The big guy doesn’t seem to be working that. Maybe it’s easy for him, but the point is to put-out and give max effort.
Much respect
Leading from the front Semper Fi
Funny how they focused on the tall candidate because he's some collegiate athlete.
yeah like he's the ONLY Candidate there and the ONLY college athlete.
you sound jealous
Max Roth just stating the obvious
@@deathlarsen7502 that escalated quickly.
@@deathlarsen7502 you dont sound like any Marine Corps officer I ever heard. You sound like a pissed off wash out.
Love My USMC Colonel 💜
The level a respect they get lord of mercy
You really focused on that one tall and handsome officer candidate.
Putting this here as a reminder: I know what I want, and I want it bad.
The man of marines is selected
... and their proud parents
It is good. Being reminded that officers need to be trained too.
I swear, I would be having an absolute blast if I were one of them. All that running and climbing, I love that stuff.
😅
Yea ok 🤣
After 10 weeks of physical training 6 days a week with only about 4-5 hours of sleep each night, your body starts breaking down. The fun goes away real quick.
It is anything but a blast. Sleep deprivation and extreme PT. The Endurance Course was a mother.
I completed PLC in summers of ‘80-81. The attrition rate for the two classes was 75%
OCC-221 reporting in. Rah!
Good man. . .
Technically OCS is Officer Candidate School, that offers many programs to commission. Like PLC, OCC, the Bulldog program (PLC Seniors) for NROTC candidates and Naval Academy midshipmen will even go to a 4 week program at OCS. LDO's do not ever go through OCS, that is correct, however all LDO's must have served and commissioned as chief warrant officers, that went through WOBC at TBS, meaning... that no matter who, through some form, any Marine officer will have gone through the Marine Corps Base Quantico :))
So many people mention this being the end of the training cycle lol...WGAF ?, the last days of a battle can be the longest and most decisive. At MCRD, we were being hazed the evening before graduation for mistakes and mishaps.
Is there a reason why this footage was flipped?
Dang, the most difficult part of OCS for me was probably trying to understand Colour Sgts class on human anatomy...
Can’t wait till I go but I wanna go through the nrotc marine option and I wanna serve my country but I got many years till then
I wanna do this for aviation!
Brings back Fond Memories : Alumni Graduate of Marine Corps 95th OCC ( Officer Candidate School,) Quantico, Va. Fall of 1975. 10 weeks of pure Hell.
The whole time his belts on backwards.
OCC 232 D-3 !
I went through OCS in 1967. We wore green utility trousers with a khaki short sleeve shirt and a helmet liner painted silver call a "chrome dome". The DI's and discipline back then was very much like boot camp with lots of yelling, pressure, and never enough time to complete a given task. We did 5-10 mile hikes (more like a jog) with full combat gear and an M-14 rifle. The Hill Trail was the worst, especially when it was raining. PT was hard. I remember the Speed March Reaction Course and of course the Obstacle Course run for time.
Training was much more intense in 1967 than it seems in this video. We didn't carry logs around, but we did a lot in full combat gear. We had the combat fitness test, which I always though was much harder than the Physical Fitness Tests today. CFT was done in full combat gear with rifle and included push ups, pull ups, squat thrusts, step ups, rope climb, 100 yard dash, low crawl for 50 yards and then turn around and run back with a simulated wounded Marine in a fireman's carry. Then the final exercise was a 3 mile run in full combat gear.
Today, they wear gym shorts, running shoes, and t-shirt. Still difficult, but but I think the CPT was much more difficult.
I suspect that this video is not representative of the full spectrum of OCS training.
Ok boomer
Leonardo daniel Lopez Save your petty quips and lack of respect for someplace else. The guy became a Marine in 1967 and is doing us the favor of sharing his experience.
@@samuelmontgomery7931 Hes trying to make it seem like when he went in they were tougher and harder. Which is BS. If anything it was easier. The competition and pool of men they can select now only makes everything harder.
I assure you that it is just as tough now. This video does a terrible job of showing it.
The physical ability is a given. The question is, do the candidates have the integrity, bearing, and judgement to lead marines.
I love how the most replayed thing is when the SGT MAJ is giving the graduates the "Donald Trump Handshake", where the person pulls you unnecessarily hard towards themselves to throw you off balance. We all think alike because that is the most replayed. I love you humans!
Get some, Devil Dogs ….
Where are their chrome domes? We always had chrome painted helmet liners at OCS.
currently enlisted in the navy as a ma, its my hope and dream to be able to make it here one day
Good luck
@@kaisryoshida1860 What’s TBS?
@@mr.minion2981 The Basic School. School for 2nd Lts after completing OCS
@@mickeyriddle8338 Thanks.
Marine OCS is an interview not a school. The learning is the Corps wants to learn if you can lead with integrity and you need to decide if you can meet the challenge.
I have an engineering degree. I scored 93 on the asvab and my physical exam was ~perfect. I will leaving this Nov 6. I am looking to be an officer once I get my letters of recommendations
Planning to do running start in highschool and then college for a bachelor's so i can attempt at an officer role in the marine corps, I want to serve my country, as I feel obligated to, so many people disrespect this country, even people who were born here, I want to do something for this great country.
The tall guy seemed to enjoy “gun decking”. My Navy folk will know what I mean!
Why did he pull him when they shook hands at 12:46 ?
I really hope your excellent skills could be utilized in Peace Activity, not in the battlefield. Then, you could be very happy and feel the satisfaction and achievements!
Is that a "Royal" overseeing the physical screening at one point?
Yes, Royal Marine Colour Sergeant is always attached to OCS to run the physical training program.
9:41 Is that a British DI in the background?
Is there no narration in the video? I also don’t see anyone getting smoked.
MrRdvs87 because it is the final week of the school and the candidates have already passed their evaluations
They should have definitely gone back to pick up instead of starting at what looks to the Medal of Honor run.
The stuff shown definitely were not the most memorable moments.
Can’t wait to go back.
Did you go back?

Hey I'm a Senior in high school planning to go to community college and then get my bachelor's at a university. But I want to go into the navy or marines as an officer. What do I need to do? Is there also anyway to go into specific jobs like Cyber security?
Do ROTC during college. 2 years. Or a 2 week camp and 1 year. If not, then OCS after college. Or after getting some degrees like engineering or computer science or med/law school, you can directly commission in 5 weeks.
@@kevinzhang3313 is there a specific college that caters to marines?
@@sequoiabritt6352 united states naval academy
Do officer’s get hazed during training?
Yeah they do. This is just the later weeks where they’re more relaxed. Transition phase in the first few weeks is full of getting messed up from SI’s.
Thinking about going Navy enlisted to
Marine Ocs...?
Me too
Rusty Shackleford you cannot do that, you have to enlist in the marine corps first
@@elcrump9350 That's not true.
He can do a conditional release and go to OCS. I did. I was an MR1 in the Navy and I'm now in the Marines as a 2nd LT
Go for it. I did!
I'm in TBS now.
There’s several guys in there not doing any work while others bust their a**.
So like... no screaming? Or spit flying on your lip from 5 drill instructors? No drop kicks?
There is screaming during OCS. These guys were in the last week of OCS so I’m sure they’ve gotten yelled at significantly less from DI’s.
You never got drop kicked from a drill instructor!
join the marines and navy fly and osprey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whether accepting a Second Lieutenant's Commission into The United States Army, Air Force, Space Force or Marine Corps, or else, an Ensign's Commission into The United States Navy or Coast Guard, be advised that that Prior Service Enlisted Man/ Warrant Officer or a Candidate from College Educated environment sans Military Training, has to undertake serious, focused academics, PT, and Military Knowledge ( MKO) ,in order to lead Men and Women of War into Victory in Battle. Kudos and Congratulations to All Second Lieutenant's and Ensigns of Our Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard ( Active Duty, National Guard, Reserve Component Military Forces).🇺🇸🦅🗽📜🛡️🗡️
too short to carry log? what good are you
Anybody know how to qualify or get into this ?
Jerry Ybanez I think the qualifications are: either an SAT of at least 1000 asvab of 85 if you go PLC need to have a gpa of 2.5 and be enrolled in a 4 year college. Or if you go to OCS is when you have your bachelors already and then the normal PT requirements I think
What’s worse, basic training or officer training?
They're pretty much the same thing, just with emphasis on different customs and scale.

honor and salute to american marines corps boot camp...
men musts be good perfect eyes seesights as 18/18 and 20/20...
no no eyes contacts lens = no no eyeglasses
That isn’t true. You must have missed the candidate in glasses. I was in the Marines from 2005-2010 and you can absolutely have glasses and contacts. The military even pay for lasix eye surgery if you’re lucky enough to get on the list
This whole video is focused on one guy.
Is this harder than grunt training?
Having done both, I can say the answer is yes.
@@NicholasRusso Thanks
I don’t get it, who’s this guy??
He played linebacker for the University of Michigan.
Who was the Brit?
He runs the obstacle course at OCS, he’s from the Royal Marines I think
Owlclaw 999 OCS has a Royal Marine Color Sergeant that is in charge of the fitness program at OCS. Leaving there you will be in the best shape of your life after 10 weeks.
Swap draft for Royal Marines Commando CSgt's (GySgt). There are also USMC instructors at the Commando Training Centre and within 3 Commando Bde.
Uraaah... raaa.raaaah.
WOW USMC boot camp is WAY PG-13 for Officers...
At 10:20 a candidate spits on the deck...OUR Deck ! TWICE !
At MCRD, after picking up that dirt where he spat, and shoving it deep into his pocket, he would have been hazed like a wet nazi for about an hour. I witnessed this. It was disturbing. To this day, I never spit on the deck.
Hazing in what way?
This can be a perfect illustration of the divide between the enlisted and officer side of the corps. I’ve always been a firm believer in said divide. However no officer can really know what it’s like to be as whole of a marine unless they’ve work the flat black.
Alex Watt how is this a perfect illustration?
Joey Moughan it’s all in the different standard and manner of training. As we can see here OCS not only instills discipline, but it does so in a manner that still allows the freedom of self. For the enlisted it’s a different beast entirely.
Alex Watt Freedom of self is developed more at TBS; all of the training in this vid besides like maybe a platoon familiarization run take place in the last week after the candidates get their eagle globe and anchor. It’s a little insulting to officers to say that they don’t know what it’s like to be as whole of a marine as the enlisted just like it’s insulting to say that an enlisted marine isn’t as whole of a marine if they don’t eventually go the officer route. That’s just my $0.02 anyways.
@@Hackfraud1803 I'm with you dude I was enlisted but we all wear the same uniform and bleed the same. When I was in the Corps I looked at Officers same way as the person who commented above, but after getting out and getting to know some commissioned Officers personally I look it differently now. Also they brainwash you in recruit training as enlisted Marine to think that non sense it's a whole silly enlisted culture which I never really agreed with tbh. Semper fi
This seems extremely laxed compared to going in enlisted
tipsy reddog28 there was way more chaos and yelling when I went this past summer. It wasn’t ever this relaxed
It is quite different but there is still plenty of drilling and getting yelled at
you're thinking of basic...when they are just sorting out the chaff and getting rid of the weak....trust me...physical requirement to get through OCS is boot x5...although i admit, the Sergeant Instructors do seem a bit relaxed here compared to my memory
This was the end of the training cycle. They had all pretty much made it through the training. Its way worst than this when it starts off.
Rachel Culp how was tbs?
Lol
Don't think this is OCS. I went through PLC in 1995 and 1997. Females were not integrated into the squads as I see in the video. Hair cuts are too long. Some are wearing beanie covers and some are not. The Sergeant Instructors are not "yelling" at the candidates. What is this?
It’s the very end of OCS, a week of “moto” PT events leading up to graduation, after all final evaluations are already complete. The event with the mixed squads is called the Montford Point Challenge. They put candidates from every platoon in the company into random squads for that one PT event.
Seeing the amount of officers I have worked with who all feel entitled because they went to college and they think they are better than enlisted. I have always believed you should do time as enlisted before going officer. You are more likely to be looked up to and respected by the enlisted if you are. We like officers who have been there doing what we are instead of ones that just sit up in the office
I feel the same way. That's why I plan to do one enlistment in the Army (11B) before seeking a commission. By being a mustang, I'll have been on both sides of the fence and will better relate to the men and women I'm leading. I firmly believe a leader should never ask anything of their troops that they're not willing to do themselves.

I think they should go to the same boot camp as the enlisted marines and then have a follow up school for officers. These guys have the weekend off and their training is just not as intense. They do not experience the same amount of stress. Plus it would lead to the end of the abuse that happens in boot camp. When is the last time you heard of someone being killed in ocs training. Few and far between but far to often in boot camp. Because officers did not go to boot camp I never considered them the same as enlisted marines. Of course they would disagree but how would they know they did not go through the abuse that we did. I am not talking about hard training I am talking about unlawful abuse. It would end if we all went to the same boot camp. Drowning in the pool, having red ants poured down your T-shirt, having everyone in the platoon hit you in the back of the head, because the di yelled fix him, sending recruits into the gear locker to be beat by the guide and squad leaders, how about the guy who had his head split open by the Di smashing his head into a desk. Beatings for recruits who could not march properly. The di would make you hold the end of the rack up while they punched you. That was just abuse and all those things happened in my platoon minus the drowning. Officers do not go to the same boot camp so they are less of a marine and the abuse continues today. Going to the same place would unify the force. But what do I know I am just an enlisted marine.
nor did you go through the abuse of OCS. you have no idea. I did BOTH and OCS is far more physically and mentally demanding. Exactly! what do you know you are just an enlisted Marine. LMAO an Officer is lesser of a Marine. oooooook snuffy
OCS selection is heavily dependent on physical fitness. The majority of these candidates are PT studs. The training is HARD. They just know how to adapt to a tough PT with a straight face.
Death Larsen I do not buy that boot camp is much more demanding in every way.
@@roypaulcarter4654 in every way? I disagree. They are harder in different ways. Much love for both sides of the Corps.

It's not that they are doing nothing. They're fresh bodies to take their place when others are at they're max and need to recover. That's why it's a team exercise.
