Mike has left for Marine Officer Candidate School at Quantico Virginia yesterday, and he will be gone for the next 12 weeks. Just wanted to pass the word and start a thread for him and those that wish to send him their best.


Thank you Mike for the sacrifices you are and will make in the future so the rest of us can breathe free. Having gotten to know you a bit these past few months, I can think of no finer man I could ask for to lead Marines that you. Good Luck and Godspeed my friend and I cannot wait to salute you upon your return.:cool::)

    Those trainng NCO's will give him a real workout. Marine Officer Candidate School is the best this country has to offer. The F.B.I. trains just next door.

    Does anybody know what the progression of his training is? I'm assuming he has to pass MCOCS, and from there he has to pass JAG Corps? Or does he just get assigned to JAG, after OCS?
