I am the Officer Selection Officer for Buffalo, New York. My job is to select highly motivated individuals to attend one of the top leadership programs in the world. I am looking for qualified college students and graduates to lead our nation’s greatest asset—our young Marines. The United States Marine Corps has been the elite branch of the Armed Forces since 1775. INC., the magazine for business entrepreneurs, characterized the Marine Corps Officer Program as “the best management training program in America.” (INC., April 1998) Applicants can be guaranteed options in Aviation, as well as Ground, Law or Reserve programs if qualified. The Marine Officer Candidate School is an elite leadership program that the top business schools look to for additional depth to their programs. Once you successfully complete this training, we’ll offer you a Presidential commission as a Marine Officer, at which time you decide either to accept this offer and become an active duty Marine Second Lieutenant or decline it to pursue other options. New officers may pursue one of a variety of career concentrations ranging from infantry to intelligence to logistics, but all positions provide new college graduates with immediate and substantial leadership training and experience and significant management opportunities. This is a position with full benefits and a very competitive compensation package. If you are looking for a challenge or an excellent way to kick start your career in corporate America, the Marine Corps can help. If you are interested, please select the "Welcome" tab on the pannel to the left to fill out an Eligibility Screening Form.

Buffalo Marine Officer
Today in History:
As the month of September came to an end in 1944, Marines from the 1st Marine division were in the midst of a bloody battle for the small island of Peleliu, located in the Pacific. The battle was part of Operation Forager, which ran from June to December 1944. The Japanese had heavily fortified the Island prior to the amphibious landings and used the rugged terrain to their advantage. Casualties were high but the Marines pushed on, eventually raising the American flag over Peleliu's airfield on September 27, 1944. Determined pockets of Japanese defenders would continue to resist until late November, after which the Island was officially secured. A total of 8 Marines were awarded the Medal of Honor for their actions throughout the battle for Peleliu.
Come on by today and visit with the Marine Corps Officer programs at RIT in the Gleason building.
Congratulations to all the OCC 220 selectees. 7 out of 7, 100% selection rate. Your journey to becoming a Marine Corps Officer has just begun, keep working hard and prepare yourselves for what lies ahead. See you all at the first pool event of the year.
