Candidate Q: USMC OCS Classroom Time

Candidates, we are running a series of small posts which answer specific candidate’s questions. Feel free to submit questions as blog comments. If the information could help others, the question may be answered as a blog post under the Q&A category.

Candidate Question:

What is the class time to ‘work’ time ratio? Will you spend most of your time in the classroom or doing physical stuff?

A:

Great question. Each day will be very different. Some days will be all classroom time, some mostly physical, but it’s common to do a 2 hour workout in the morning, then classes and drill all the rest of the day.

To see a good example of what the schedule might be like, see the OCS Schedule post here.

Also check out the guide to OCS Academics for a good overall feel for the system in place.
