Lately, I’ve seen some of the typical questions about Marine OCS vs. Navy OCS, etc. Also, there have been some posts about preparing for OCS, or what it takes to be successful. Beyond the physical requirements, it all boils down to attitude. The Marines call it “esprit de corps.” I’m not always that easily motivated, but this essay by a Sgt from the Vietnam era got me fired up. A must read for any Marine that takes the time to read this forum.
