Looking to Set Yourself Apart and Get Ahead?Join us for a Virtual Marine Corps Platoon Leaders Class Info Session on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, from 12:00–1:30 PM (via Zoom). The Platoon Leaders Class (PLC) undergraduate commissioning program allows college students who are currently enrolled full time in any accredited college or university to pursue a commission in the Marine Corps without interrupting academic careers. PLC is themost common path to becoming one of us and all training sessions take place in Quantico, VA.This path has two training options:Two six-week summer training sessions for college freshman and sophomoresOne ten-week training session for college juniorsTraining includes academic and field topics. Academic subjects covered includeMarine Corps history, leadership, close order drill, weapons handling, and general military subjects such as land navigation, the Uniform Codeof Military Justice, interior guard, moral and ethical leadership, andbasic combat. PLC candidates need to be physically fit as the physical training is demanding; for example, Officer Candidates in the PLC Seniors course run and hike an average of 250 miles (400 km) or more during a six-week period.Those who opt for the Juniors/Seniors program will findthat the divided program is tailored to provide progressive training. TheJuniors course is an introduction into the Marine Corps, and allows the candidates to be evaluated and motivated for a possible commission. Physical training, small unit leadership, and basic infantry tactics are addressed, as well as significant academic instruction. PLC Seniors is an advanced course of indoctrination and contains similar physical training, small unit leadership, infantry tactics, and academics; but at a faster rate and with more instructor-induced stress. Those candidates who opt for the combined course cover the same areas of instruction, but it is integrated without the need to reevaluate candidates due to a year-long gap.  Ready to Lead the Few and the Proud?Join us for a Virtual Marine Corps Platoon Leaders Class Info Session on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, from 12:00–1:30 PM (via Zoom). Link for the zoom info session on August 13, at 12:00pm: PLC Information Session | Meeting-Join | Microsoft Teams Register now.
