How to get selected for Marine Corps Officer Candidates School (How do I get selected for USMC OCS?)

In this video I discuss my personal opinions on how I think someone could increase their chances of getting selected for USMC OCS

Thank you for this video, I am currently a reservist, I got my degree last year, and the thought of becoming of an Officer feels like a calling I have to answer at this point.

But I need to get Fitness up there before I feel comfortable speaking with an OSO.

So i have a question. I was enlisted 2016-2022 so this is the 8th year for me(in the irr). I graduate in cybersecurity in December. I just talked to the oso yesterday funny enough and he told me he could get me to go to ocs this coming January. So, two questions. 1st one can you take your phone with you? Because at bootcamp enlisted you couldn’t BUT the difference is we went home for 10 days. I ask because idk if tbs is right after. Last question. When it comes to mos school is it a lot of management classes you do like how it is in college?

For example. A marine police will learn to be a police officer

A marine officer will learn to be a police officer but also a “chief of police”? If that makes sense

How does selecting a duty station at IOC happen? Do they take into account having a wife with a job near the requested station?

How did the senator and colonel know you personally to get a letter of rec?

How long does it take for OSOs to respond generally? Cuz i been waiting like a week for a response to when i could do an initial meeting with them.

How important in the overall picture would you say employment history and extra curricular activities such as college clubs etc is to getting selected?

I am currently a College senior about the start my final semester and I want to go to OCS should I do a walk-in with my local OSO or try and contact them and if so how would I get their information?

You have to get selected for the corps??? Dam. Yeah no offense and me being a marine myself I’d just tell them to go to the army cos instead.
