2. Non-selects. Marines who were not selected refer to chapter 1 of ref (A). MCRC cannot provide reason for non-selection, however for questions on how to better prepare your application please contact Capt Bowers at 703-784-9446.
3. To ensure your Marine is prepared for this next chapter in their careers, it is highly recommended they be assigned a Company Grade Officer within your command as a mentor. This Marine Officer should assist with a physical training regimen that will prepare the Marine for the rigorous demands of OCS. Additionally, the Marine Officer should mentor the Officer Candidate to ensure they are aware of and prepared for the expectations at OCS, The Basic School (TBS), and life as a Company Grade Officer. Assistance and additional information can be found at website www.trngcmd.marines.mil. Select Units, then OCS or TBS.
