Seven candidates from Officer Selection Team Lexington have arrived at Officer Candidates School for Officer Candidate Course 253.

Over the coming weeks, they’ll be tested mentally, morally, and physically as they compete for the privilege of earning a commission as a United States Marine Officer.

The work that got them here is finished. Now it’s time to prove they belong.

Good luck to our candidates at OCC-253. Finish what you started.

Few earn the title. Fewer earn the privilege of leading Marines.

OST Lexington had the opportunity to spend time with the Indiana University Southeast Women’s Basketball Team, discussing leadership, resilience, teamwork, and what it means to perform when others are counting on you.

The same qualities that build successful teams—discipline, accountability, competitiveness, and trust—are the foundation of effective Marine Officers.

Appreciate the Grenadiers for having us out. Best of luck this season!

Huge shoutout to 2ndLt Little on successfully completing Officer Candidate School and earning the title of United States Marine. Her journey was anything but easy—battling through injuries and adversity that would have stopped most, she refused to let circumstances dictate her outcome. She faced every obstacle head-on and never wavered. Through it all, she demonstrated a relentless, no-quit mindset and the mental toughness required to lead Marines.

Proud to see it come to fruition. The Corps is gaining a resilient and determined leader.

Fair winds and following seas.

Future Marine Officers in the making.

Officer Candidates from OST Lexington, led by RS XO Capt. Pellissier, took part in a demanding pool function—pushing themselves through a Derna Memorial Workout before stepping back to study the First Barbary War and the Battle of Derna.

From the shores of Tripoli to today, the standard remains the same: mental toughness, physical endurance, and an unwavering commitment to lead from the front.

If you think you have what it takes to earn the title, it starts here. 🇺🇸
