BEQs: They were segregated by gender until about 10 years ago. Now they're only segregated at the room level instead of the building level. Yes, we have many claims of sexual assault/harassment/EO...

Everyone's experience is going to be different. Patrols don't come in at night, but for most it's a few days out and then back in, but the mission has changed. We aren't trying to take and hold...

Looks good to me. I've read dozens of these as an admin on a different (now semi-dead) site. The general trend the board needs to hear from you is that you're committed to leading as a Marine. Essays...

Worst case scenario, if the OSO tells you that there's nothing he can do for you, you can look into an interservice transfer/commission. It's a long shot, but I know individuals who did AFROTC and...

Getting into OCS is hard and becoming...
