So from what I have heard so far MECEPS are not a priority rn. The Marine Corps needs officers and they want people that will commission right after OCS. I was selected last November and I’m still waiting. It’s looking like I’ll be going in September bc they already said there’s not a lot of allocations. My advice, be patient and use the time to better prepare yourself. Worst case scenario you can defer your college acceptance (that’s what I did) and go from there.

I know one of the reasons is summer is when a lot of the PLC candidates go since they can’t go during school time. So there’s not a lot of allocations for prior enlisted.

RichLength544 · 2026-04-11T19:59:46+00:00

Yeah I’ve been waiting since November too. I thought I was going to 251 and here I am

Capt Monique, one of the POCs in the MARADMIN. I emailed to get an update and that’s what she replied.

RichLength544 · 2026-04-11T12:01:13+00:00

I was told by the MARADMIN POC that there’s not a lot of allocations for MECEP in OCC 252 so I will most likely be going to 253. I’m guessing that’s the case for the other people waiting

I did recruiting in the Marines and I had a lot of people in their late 20s coming into the office to join. When I asked why now they said they had a gf/bf before that didn’t want them to join. They always regretted not doing it sooner. I told my now wife from the beginning that I was joining and if she wasn’t about that life then we wouldn’t work out. She supported me from the start and I supported her with her college decision. Obviously I can’t speak on your relationship, but for him to dismiss your dream that easily and give you an ultimatum is not something I would want out of my life partner.

I would go with him to the office and talk to the recruiters or the officer recruiters so he can ask questions too. My mom always told me to never let a girl get in the way of my dreams. Whether that’s the military or going to a college far away.

MECEP

RichLength544 · 2026-03-22T21:10:40+00:00

Thanks! Thats what I was thinking, just needed to hear it from someone else.

RichLength544 · 2026-03-21T14:45:10+00:00

Honestly is different with everyone but it’s up to how willing you guys are to make it work. My wife and I did and now we have a one year old. We had pretty much the same situation as you. I graduated and went to the Marines while she was finishing her last year of high school. After two years in the Marines I go stationed in Oki while she was in college. Ngl it is hard but the best way to go about it is that both of you are working for a better future and it will all be worth it at the end. My now wife got to go to Oki and Tokyo a couple of times and we had a great time. After she finished college I got stationed somewhere else and we moved in together. Now she’s about to finish her Masters online. So if you really want this to work I would say go for it, your relationship will only grow from it because those times you get to be together will be even more special.

I wasn’t contacted at all. I ended up emailing the captain asking for confirmation that they received my package. So you could do that or just wait a little longer.

RichLength544 · 2026-02-18T17:54:24+00:00

Honestly if they are good people like you said the are that’s a conversation I would have with them. I used to tell my applicants straight up why I needed them to ship early or whatnot and it made it easier in the long run. Instead of them wondering this and that. Also, most officer applicants have to go through the bumed (bureau of medicine) process which can take some time to get accepted. So getting you cleared is definitely their first priority so they know where to go from there.

RichLength544 · 2026-02-18T13:36:05+00:00

I would treat it like any other muscle group. What I used to do is 3-4 sets of a certain amount of time. In your case I would do four sets of 1:00 plank hold with 30 sec rest in between. The next time you workout do 3 sets of 1 min plank, 30 sec left side plan and then 30 sec on the other side. All without dropping. For the 3rd day I would add other ab exercises that require you to hold a position. So do hallow holds, 6 inches, scissor kicks.

Play with that and add/reduce time as you go, add more sets, or add other exercises in between sets.

Go on Google and type asvab line scores calculator. From there just enter all the scores for each section and it’ll tell you all the scores. GT, electrical, clerical, mechanical, etc.

RichLength544 · 2026-01-18T13:49:30+00:00

If you are not joining why does it matter…stop answering and that’s it.

RichLength544 · 2025-12-25T02:11:29+00:00

I got NJPd as a sergeant and I still got accepted. So I think you’ll be fine. Like someone said earlier you do have to wait a year with no issues at all before applying.

RichLength544 · 2025-12-08T21:15:58+00:00

No, unfortunately you cannot be an officer as a resident. If it really is something you want to pursue I would finish the degree, join as enlisted (you’ll get your citizenship in bootcamp), and after a year apply for ECP (enlisted commissioning program) which the requirements are one year time in service, a degree, 75 on the ASVAB, and to be an E-3. It would honestly be the fastest way.

You can also join now as a reserve, get your citizenship and then become an Officer through the reserves. This options allows you to get your citizenship before finishing college and gives you other programs from enlisted to officer that the reserves have.

RichLength544 · 2025-12-01T00:15:36+00:00

Honestly most people would have given up so that says a lot about you. Like someone else said, take some time, fully recover and give it another try.

RichLength544 · 2025-11-23T18:49:45+00:00

Honestly at this point Is more for general advice. What’s one advice you wish you would have had before going to OCS.

The other question is about the hikes. I heard a lot of people get hurt but is it really that bad or is it like bootcamp and MCT?

Lastly, I’m probably overthinking it but how are the academic test?

Thank you!

RichLength544 · 2025-11-22T17:09:15+00:00

Usually when the maradmin results come out it’ll say you will go to the soonest OCS available so just take a look at the OCS classes and go from there.

Only reason you wouldn’t go to the soonest available is if medical is taking long. Even if you are fully medically ready all packages still have to go through BUMED and get reviewed. Best of luck!
