Hi Rylan,


Most candidates are required to have a bachelor's degree in order to be considered for a commission as an officer. However, an exceptional Marine who has not completed college may enroll in the Marine Corps Enlisted Commissioning Educational Program.




  • Stay in touch with the OSO. While in school, students can ensure that they're on the right path by staying in contact with their OSO. An OSO can recommend a physical training program and answer questions about summer training courses and acceptance to Officer Candidates School (OCS).




  • Ensure a good academic and personal record. OCS is competitive. To be accepted into OCS, students must have at least a 2.0 grade point average. Students should strive to achieve the highest GPA possible. Additionally, students with no criminal records will have the best chances for acceptance.




Complete Preliminary Training and the Officer Candidates School


In the NROTC program, college students combine naval sciences courses with their normal college curriculum. Participants in the Platoon Leaders Class complete some training during summers while in college. Also, one can choose to enlist as a Marine and participate in meritorious commission programs after demonstrating leadership skills. Officer candidates who complete one of these options must then complete the 10-week Officer Candidate Course at OCS in Quantico, VA. At OCS, future officers complete physical and academic courses and evaluations.

All the best for you!!!
Thank you comment icon thank you this will help Rylan
Thank you comment icon Hi Rylan, Miss Silva is correct about becoming an officer in the Marine Corps. However career planners are enlisted and do not require a degree, BUT you must be a Non Commissioned Officer (NCO [better know as a Sergeant]), grade pay grade E-5 - E-9 to be a career planner. So what that means is you will not be able to just enlist into the Marine Corps and become a career planner. This job requires one to already be in the Corps. Pablo Martin

James’s Answer

Career Planner is a specific MOS code in the Marine Corps. You cannot choose it when you first enlist. You would have to choose another job, then lateral move into it. It does not require a college degree. A high school diploma is sufficient.

Joshua’s Answer

For the Marine Corps Career planner Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) you will have to first join the Marine Corps with a different job and after you reenlist after 4 years you can apply to become a career planner. I would recommend doing a tour of recruiting duty before becoming a Career Planner just to ensure you enjoy that type of work. It does not require a college degree. You will just need to graduate high school and get a General Technical score of 100 or higher on the ASVAB. They will send you to Career Retention Specialist School in San Diego, CA to train for the job.
