RUNNING CADENCE
The purpose of Texas Marine Officer is to inform, educate and prepare future Marine Officer
Candidates working through the Austin, Texas Officer Selection Office,  for Officer
Candidates School, The Basic School and service as a Company Grade Marine Officer.   This site
is not an official site of the United States Marine Corps and the information contained within
is provided by, and for, the officer candidates in the State of Texas.  Much of the information is
provided by the courtesy of the Officer Selection Officer.
Counter
Candidate Preparation

Ready for the challenge?  Not everyone can be a Marine. And not every Marine can
be an officer. Young men and women who join our ranks right out of high school
enlist in the Corps. Officers, however, are usually college graduates who have either
completed the Platoon Leaders Class or attended Officer Candidates Course shortly
after graduation. This is an excellent opportunity to lead this nation's most elite
warriors, and the ability to do so will set you apart. Become a Marine Corps Officer
and you will never look back - except at those trying to keep up.

I am looking for young men and women in central and south Texas, pursuing or
holding an undergraduate degree who are seeking a leadership position. Currently I
am conducting informational interviews and accepting applications for the upcoming
classes at Officer Candidate School.  If this challenge is of interest to you, give me a
call, or simply send me an email.

Semper Fidelis,

Captain Jeffrey M. Tew

  • Pilot - This is the only program of any service that will guarantee you a pilot slot as early as
    your freshman year in college if you qualify.  Contrary to popular belief you do not need almost
    perfect vision to become a pilot. If you make it through the summer training and take your
    commission as an Officer of Marines you are guaranteed to go to flight school in Pensacola,
    FL to become a Marine pilot. The Marine Corps has the world's fifth largest air force consisting

    Admissions Test and are a full-time law school student or have been accepted to law school
    you may qualify to become a judge advocate for the Marine Corps. If you get accepted to this
    very competitive program you will go to Officer Candidate School and get your commission  as
    a Marine Officer either before, during, or after law school depending on when you get into the
    Law Program. If you do PLC Law, you will go to OCS during the summer and graduate as a
    Second Lieutenant and return to law school as a member of the inactive ready reserve. When
    you graduate law school and pass the Bar exam you will begin active duty as a Marine Judge
    Advocate. See the MOS Guide  and our downloads page for more details on being a Judge
    Advocate.
