OCS questions

[Patriot34]

I've searched the forum(s), and gotten no information about this. If you graduate from boot as a Marine grunt could you go on to OCS or do you have to go to college then go to OCS? I've looked at the Marine web site and looked over the information over and over again, but found nothing on graduating then becoming an officer. Could any of you Marines enlighten me on this?

You graduate from boot camp as a Marine, not a grunt.
You can only become an officer after earning a Bachelor's degree. They may let a small percentage of prior enlisted go with an Associates degree but they will need their Bachelor's to get promoted past Captain.
