It is my job to give motivated, intelligent, and competitive full time college students and college graduates an opportunity to attend a Marine Corps leadership training course. For college graduates, the training is 10-weeks and occurs every May, September, and January WITHOUT incurring any service obligation. If you are in college, it is either 6 or 10 weeks and takes place over the summer WITHOUT affecting your college degree program.

So, if are looking to have an experience that will challenge you to become a better version of yourself and improve your leadership skills – read on.

Our program works similar to a paid internship.

• Submit an application during the year prior to/post-graduation.
• Attend training in May, September, or January and get paid with zero follow on obligation.
• Get offered a commission as an officer in the Marine Corps upon completion of training. If you choose to accept, you will continue follow on training.

We use this program as a 2-way interview process. Qualified graduates get to experience Marine Corps leadership training and the Marine Corps gets to evaluate graduates on their leadership potential.

• Pay is ~$6,000 for ten weeks of training.
• Entry level pay as a newly minted commissioned officer ranges from $75,000 to $95,000 pending on locality pay, with scheduled promotions and annual raises that beat inflation.
• Access to $0 down home loans, fully funded master's programs, completely free healthcare for you and your spouse and children, pension after retirement.
