Up to one-sixth of each graduating class may be chosen for commissioning as second lieutenants in the Marine Corps. After graduation from the Academy, you attend The Basic School, a 26-week course for officers at Quantico, Virginia. This school gives all Marine officers a common background in the tactical study of land warfare. Then you go on to advanced training in a particular occupational specialty based on your qualifications and preferences. Marine Corps career fields include those in the two basic categories of ground and air. Ground career choices include infantry, armor, artillery, logistics, engineering, communications-information systems, financial management and military police. Aviation includes pilot, naval flight officer, air command and control, anti-air warfare, aviation maintenance and aviation supply. http://www.usna.edu/Admissions/faq.htm#marinecorps Jun 11 07, 3:42 PM
