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.
Yeah. This is when they’ve already earned their EGAs. Tbh this video is a trap, if anyone saw those candidates smiling even up to week 8 their ass would be grass
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.

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 :))
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.
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.
It’s tradition at OCS for a Colour Sergeant from the royal marines to be a part of the Physical Training Instructors. There’s always one at every USMC OCS. However, they aren’t DIs they just assist with all the physical training.
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 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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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).🇺🇸🦅🗽📜🛡️🗡️
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.
' 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
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
@@TheMarti70 ill never forget finding out our CO playing candy crush for 2 hours while the entire company is standing by at the grinder waiting to be released for the weekend... he wasent buying time or anything, he just forgot.

join the marines and navy fly and osprey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such slow running. I even put it on double speed and it looks slow.
