As we close out an unforgettable 85th Annual Officer Candidate School Alumni Association Reunion, it’s only fitting that we do so on Independence Day—a time to reflect on the ideals of service, leadership, and sacrifice that have shaped our nation since its founding.

This year’s reunion brought together generations of OCS graduates, candidates, families, and supporters in our nation’s capital to reconnect, honor those who came before us, celebrate the accomplishments of today, and invest in the leaders of tomorrow. From shared stories and lasting friendships to ceremonies and moments of remembrance, the weekend was a powerful reminder that the OCS experience extends far beyond graduation.

As our country begins commemorating the road to America’s 250th anniversary, we are reminded that every generation has been called to uphold the values of duty, courage, and selfless service. The men and women of OCS have answered that call for decades, and the legacy continues with each new class of leaders.

Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, planned, and supported this year’s reunion. Your commitment to preserving the OCS legacy and strengthening our community made the 85th reunion an incredible success.

Happy Fourth of July, and here’s to the enduring spirit of our nation—and to the next 250 years.

We have exciting news!!! The Army OCS Database is now on the web!

Please check out the database at www.armyocsdatabase.com and send us your comments using the "Contact Us" tab to let us know how we can improve the content or display. There is a lot of work still to be done, especially in getting the Summary forms formatted correctly and published. This is a "living document" and changes are made daily.

The Army Officer Candidate School (OCS) Database stands as a landmark resource for OCS graduates, their families, and historians. Built to honor more than eight decades of service and sacrifice, the database is dedicated to preserving the lineage and accomplishments of those who earned their commissions through the U.S. Army’s OCS programs.

For over 80 years, Army Officer Candidate Schools have transformed prior-service enlisted Soldiers and qualified civilians into commissioned leaders. From the battlefields of World War II to modern operations around the globe, OCS-commissioned officers have played pivotal roles in shaping American military history. The creation and expansion of the Army OCS Database represents a major milestone in capturing that heritage with accuracy, dignity, and permanence.

For the first time, graduates, families, researchers, and veterans can explore a growing historical archive documenting the men and women who received their commissions through every Army branch school dating back to 1941. This living, continually expanding database currently includes more than 282,500 graduates, with additional entries added as new records are discovered, digitized, and verified.

More than a directory, the Army OCS Database is a tribute—ensuring that the leadership, commitment, and stories of OCS-trained officers are never lost to time. It serves as a bridge between generations of Soldiers and a foundation for future historical research, education, and remembrance.

We’re back with another OCS Alumni Graduate Spotlight!

Meet CPT Auston Marineau, a graduate of OCS Class 006-15. After commissioning as an Infantry Officer, he went on to serve honorably until his discharge in 2021. His career included three deployments—first as an Infantry Platoon Leader in Afghanistan, then as an Executive Officer in Kuwait and Iraq, and finally as an Aide-de-Camp to the Deputy Commander of CJTF-OIR across Iraq and Syria.

Today, Auston continues his service to others in a new capacity: he is now an attorney providing legal counsel to Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

Reflecting on his time at OCS, Auston shared how deeply he valued the experience:
“From the cadre who played such an instrumental role in shaping me into the officer I became, to the incredible group of officer candidates I went through the course with.” He added that the friendships he formed at OCS have stood the test of time—many of his closest friends in the Army are those he met during the course.

Thank you for your continued service and leadership, CPT Marineau!
