Marine Option Cruises
As a Marine Option midshipman, your summer training differs slightly from that of your
Navy Option counterparts. You will attend Career Orientation Training for Midshipmen
(CORTRAMID) in the summer after your freshman year just like Navy Option midshipmen, but
in your next two summers you have the opportunity to participate in Marine-specific training:
You may participate in a second class cruise aboard a Navy vessel, or, if selected, you may attend the Mountain Warfare Leaders Course. Each year, fifteen midshipmen are selected nationwide to attend training at the Mountain Warfare Training Center in Bridgeport, California. Once in Bridgeport, the midshipmen are attached to an infantry battalion undergoing Mountain Warfare Training. To maintain mobility in a mountainous environment, Mountain Warfare Training involves advanced training in mountain warfare and survival, teaching Marines how to overcome any obstacle they might see in a mountainous environment.
Scholarship and College Program students who are candidates for Marine Corps commissions will train at the Marine Corps Combat and Development Center, Quantico, Virginia, during the summer between their junior and senior years. The Marine Corps Officer Candidate School program ("Bulldog") is a six week course designed to train, evaluate, and screen officer candidates to ensure that they possess the moral, intellectual, and physical qualities for commissioning and the leadership potential to serve successfully as company grade officers in the operating forces.
