IV. Special Instructions for the Interview of Enlisted <strong>Marine</strong>s<br />
1. An enlisted <strong>Marine</strong> requires a statement from the commanding officer<br />
regarding performance of duty and general potential as a <strong>Marine</strong> <strong>Corps</strong><br />
officer. We recommend the interviews be conducted by two officers<br />
other than the <strong>Marine</strong>’s commanding officer.<br />
2. The interview itself should concentrate on the motivation towards<br />
the <strong>Marine</strong> <strong>Corps</strong>, the potential as <strong>Marine</strong> officers, the career nature<br />
of the program, and the status of the college application and physical<br />
examination.<br />
3. All applications from enlisted <strong>Marine</strong>s will include current duty<br />
station and rotation tour date in order to expedite the mailing of<br />
necessary correspondence.<br />
