The mission of Officer Selection Station Wilkes Barre is to assist qualified applicants in applying for Marine Officer Programs and to prepare Officer Candidates for Officer Candidates School

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.
