Marine helicopter pilots are some of the most sought after aviators in the US military. Whether it’s transporting Marines from ship to shore, or evacuating embassy staff from the rooftops, Marine aviators are ready and capable of providing support. Although their aircraft platforms may change, their commitment to their fellow Marines and the mission don’t. #usmc #usmcocs #marineaviation #ostdallas #utdallas #udallas #smu #tamucommerce #uttyler #sfasu #uarkansas #ualittlerock
Marines Officers lead their Marines overseas on Marine Expeditionary Units (MEUs) to respond to a wide variety of situations. Whether it be rendering humanitarian aid to a tsunami stricken town, evacuating civilians and Americans from a war zone, or training allied militaries and security forces, the Marines are the flexible force in readiness that America calls upon. Marine Officers plan, coordinate, execute and lead their Marines in these versatile units across any mission the MEU is tasked with. The Officer always puts themselves at the point of friction to provide guidance and leadership to their Marines. #usmc #usmcocs #marineofficer #ostdallas #utdallas #udallas #smu #tamucommerce #uttyler #sfasu #uarkansas #ualittlerock
Infantry Officers are the leaders and commanding officers within the Marine Corps Infantry. The Marine Corps is designed to fight and win America’s battles, and the Infantry Marines find themselves in the center of the fight. The Infantry Officer deliberately puts themselves at the point of friction to lead their Marines through chaotic situations and ensure mission success. They plan, direct and assist in developing combat orders, and are masters of the tactical employment of subordinate Infantry and Reconnaissance units. #usmc #usmcocs #marineinfantry #infantryofficer #ostdallas #utdallas #udallas #smu #tamucommerce #uttyler #sfasu #uarkansas #ualittlerock
Marines are known for being expeditionary and highly mobile. In fact they pride themselves on being able to move rapidly. Critical to this is the Logistics Officer. The Logistics Officer is a master of supply chain management and convoy operations. They meticulously plan out every detail of getting the right gear to the right place and moving the Marines to the front lines as quickly as possible. They lead logistical Marines through any clime and terrain to ensure mission success in whatever the Marine Air Ground Task Force is moving to accomplish. Without the Logistics Officer and their Marines, the Task Force cannot move. If you believe you have what it takes to be the mover for a large organization dedicated to winning America’s battles, contact the Dallas Officer Selection Team to find out more! 469-475-0194 #usmc #usmcocs #logisticsofficer #marinelogistics #magtf #ostdallas #utdallas #udallas #smu #tamucommerce #uttyler #sfasu #uarkansas #ualittlerock
The Assault Amphibious Vehicle Officer is a unique commander that crosses the lines between logistical supprt, combat support, and a direct combat role all in one position. These Officers command AAV units and make recommendations to Marine Air Ground Task Force Commanders on how they can move Marines from ship to shore and provide tactical support once on land. The AAV is a tracked amphibious vehicle that can function as either a land vehicle or a water craft, and is manned by a variety of weaponry to provide immediate fire support to the Marines disembarking once on land. When ashore these versatile machines can move swiftly around the battlefield, providing tactical options and maneuverability to ground force commanders. The AAV Officer is at the leading AAV in every situation in order to beat employ their assets at the most opportunity location. #usmc #usmcocs #assaultamphibianvehicle #marineaav #ostdallas #utdallas #udallas #smu #tamucommerce #uttyler #sfasu #uarkansas #ualittlerock
When the Marines have to fight somewhere, they call upon the Infantry to win the battle. Every Marine Corps Officer learns the fundamentals to serve as a provisional rifle platoon commander, but then some Officers become Infantry Officers and master the trade. These Officers lead their Marines in often chaotic and fluid situations from the front and put themselves at the point of friction to ensure the mission gets completed. Becoming an Infantry Officer is one of the hardest things Marine can do, but that’s because their Marines need only the best of the best. #usmc #usmcinfantry #usmcocs #infantryofficer #ostdallas #utdallas #udallas #smu #tamucommerce #uttyler #sfasu #uarkansas #ualittlerock
Manpower Officers do for the Marine Corps what a Human Resource Director does for their company; they find the right person for the right job. These highly intelligent Officers manage the talent distribution and the allocation of personnel across the Marine Corps. They serve as the principal supervisor for the unit’s administrative and clerical business, oversee the personnel reviewing system within the unit, and provide advisement to the commanding officer on procedural steps forward when the command wants to recognize a Marine’s exemplary achievement. Administrative issues can significantly impact the career and life plans of a Marine and their family, and the Manpower Officer is tasked with ensuring the Marine’s administrative needs are handled properly and smoothly. If you want to have a huge impact on the lives of Marines, becoming a Manpower Officer may be the path for you.

Women have been an integral part of the Marine Corps since the first female Marine, Opha May Johnson joined the Corps in 1918 and have made significant contributions to the success of the Marine Corps’ mission to win America’s battles. In 1993 1st Lt Sarah Deal became the Marine Corps’ first female aviator flying the CH53 Super Stallion. She set a precedent that women could serve in combat oriented roles in the Corps alongside her male peers. Many more women would follow in her footsteps to serve in certain combat positions throughout the Corps, proving they were just as capable. Pioneers like 1st Lt Deal and their capabilities led the DoD in 2016 to formally remove all barriers for women entering into combat oriented roles.

“The right people, to the right place, at the right time, with the right gear.” Whenever the Marines need to go somewhere, Logistics Officers plan out, oversee, and execute their movement. A Logistics Officer ensures their Logistics Marines carry out all tactical logistical functions in service to the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF). These functions include supply, maintenance, transportation, general engineering, health services and general services. If the MAGTF needs to move inland to resupply an isolated outpost, or if the MAGTF needs to build a campsite to render humanitarian aid to endangered civilians, the the Logistics Officers are the movers who make all the details play out. Without the Logistics Officers, the MAGTF would be unable to get to where it needs to go with the supplies it needs to use there. If managing a company supply chain and transportation fleet is how you want to serve, becoming a Logistics Officer in the Marine Corps can be a pathway for you.

The Marine Corps is the nation’s 911 force it calls upon when chaos erupts. Marines guard American embassies around the world, including in hostile and high risk countries. When one of those embassies or another American facility overseas is under siege by hostile forces, the United States sends in a Fleet Anti-Terrorism Security Team (FAST) led by an Infantry Officer serving in the Marine Corps’ Security Forces Regiment. These Officers lead their highly trained and armed Marines in high risk security missions to secure American facilities overseas. Because they are the first American forces on the scene they are tasked with defending the facility until reinforcements can arrive. These Infantry Officers direct their platoon’s defensive postures from the walls and rooftops right next to their FAST Marines. Joining these highly capable and specialized FAST Marines as their Officer is difficult but rewarding. An Infantry Officer serving in this role can find themselves leading highly impactful missions that can have far reaching repercussions in America’s diplomatic strategy.

There are a few memories that never fade in life. The birth of a child, marriage to a loved one, death of a parent. These memories shape the course of a person’s life afterwards. Earning the title Marine is one of those memories. The Eagle, Globe, and Anchor ceremony is the first time a candidate is called a Marine. It is a time honored tradition that represents the culmination of weeks of hard training that pushed the newly minted Marine to their limits, both physically and mentally. On August 1 Dallas OST Candidates Nicholas, Cornwell, and Goodwin officially earned their titles and were called United States Marines by their instructor staff. They joined the long line of those Marines who came before them and can now count themselves amongst brothers and sisters. Becoming a Marine is one of the hardest things to do in life, and requires the strongest will and commitment to their fellow candidates; but it is one of the greatest accomplishments they can earn.

Marines are known for being tough and tenacious. They willingly endure grueling hours of pain, misery, and suffering in training to prepare for combat and the unknown. Whether it be resupplying a stranded outpost, fighting and protecting innocent lives in combat operations, or navigating flood waters for disaster relief, the mission is the same each time: win the battle and ensure those in danger get home alive. Marine Officers play a vital role in this mission by planning, coordinating, leading their Marines, and executing these missions throughout the world. Officers lead their Marines from the front in training for conditions as hard and realistic as possible, because they never know when America will call upon them. Wherever you find Marines, you will find a Marine Officer at the point of friction, directing and guiding their Marines through the chaos. If you have the drive and the desire to serve something greater than yourself and help others, becoming a Marine Corps Officer is a pathway towards that goal. Contact the Dallas Officer Selection Team to find out what it takes to become a Marine Corps Officer. 469-475-0194 "Helping one person might not change the whole world, but it could change the world for one person." #usmc #marine #usmcocs #marinesincombat #marineexpeditionaryunit #marineleadership #ostdallas #utdallas #udallas #smu #uttyler #tamucommerce #sfasu #uarkansas #ualittlerock
Marines go everywhere America needs its finest fighting force. Whether that be at sea, in the air, or on land. The climate doesn't matter, the time doesn't matter, the route doesn't matter, not even the weather will matter. If America needs a battle to be won, it chooses the Marines to get the job done. All Marines are built with an innate sense of duty and commitment to their cause and each other. Few can become Marines, fewer still can become Officers of Marines. From the first days of Officer Candidate School, all Officer candidates undergo intensive leadership and teamwork training, are taught critical thinking skills in high stakes scenarios, and are pushed to their limits both physically and mentally everyday. The ones that can endure this pressure graduate to become Marine Corps Officers and go on to lead Marines across the world. The Marine Corps actively seeks out the best and brightest young Americans with a desire to serve something bigger than themselves, a desire to join the brotherhood and sisterhood of being a Marine, and have the indomintable will to succeed because they know others rely on them. The Dallas Officer Selection Team is the first step towards becoming a part of this storied organization.

If the MAGTF needs to conduct offensive military operations against a hostile force and needs a place to provide forward arming and refueling services, the Air Traffic Controller controls the flow of strike aircraft and fighter aircraft departing and returning to that forward airstrip. Sometimes the MAGTF needs to establish a mobile radar system to observe the air traffic within a contested region; the MAGTF sends an Air Traffic Controller to establish and run the system. If the runway becomes damaged in any way (such as an enemy bombardment), the Air Traffic Controller's extensive knowledge of the weights, landing space requirements, and take off lengths empowers them to find and create a new air strip for their aircraft to utilize. When the MAGTF needs to operate within a friendly nation, they take on a critical role called Airspace and Military Lisaon, where they coordinate and build with the host nation to ensure the safe handling of US military aircraft. If there were no Air Traffic Controller in the tower, the MAGTF would be unable to employ its aircraft, leaving a full 1/3 of the MAGTF unable to move and the Marines on the ground without air support. If you think you have what it takes to become one of these few and highly specialized Marines, the first step is mastering the fundamentals of leadership and team-work at Officer Candidate School, where all Marine Officers are created and made into leaders of Marines.

In the 21st Century the battlefield is shifting away from strictly bullets and artillery to incorporating the digital world into the fight. Modern threats to the nation's computer networks and infrastructure can pose just as much danger as an enemy missile barrage. This is where the Marine Corps' 1702 Cyberspace Officer comes into the equation. These Marines are technical experts and proven leaders in the cyberwarfare and information maneuver spheres. From Offensive and Defensive Cyberspace Operations, to identifying and responding to attempted breaches of the nation's networks, to providing guidance to commanders about the employment of cyperspace systems and personnel, Cyberspace Officers fill a demanding and highly sought out role within the Marine Corps' growing Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command (MARFORCYBER). When the Marines are called to respond to all manners of scenarios across the globe, the reality of the day is that the digital realm can drastically effect the physical situation where the Marines have boots on the ground. When hostile actors attack the power grid or communication towers of a country struck by a natural disaster that Marines are responding to, the situation can devolve into chaos. Enabling those Marines to accomplish their mission with the vital cyberspace support they need is becoming more and more critical. The Marine Corps is actively seeking out highly motivated and knowledgable applicants looking to serve something greater than themselves with their skills in the digital world. #usmc #usmcocs #marinecyberspaceoperations #cyberwarfareoperations #cyberwarfareofficer #ostdallas #utdallas #udallas #smu #uttyler #tamucommerce #sfasu #uarkansas #ualittlerock
Marines are built to win America's battle, but sometimes that battlefield is a courtroom. Whether at home or abroad, the Marine Corps Judge Advocate Corps fights the legal battles that Marines may face. These Marine Officers perform the same duties as all other lawyers; to pursue the truth, ensure their clients get the full extent of their due process, protect the rights of their clients, and that the law is applied equally to all. The Marine Corps only seeks out the best and brightest to become Marine Corps JAG Officers, because the cases they will handle directly impact the future of the Marine Corps' greatest assets, the individual Marines. Applying the Uniform Code of Military Justice requires years of study to master the fundamentals of the law, and then undergoing a rigourous training program to learn the UCMJ before they can represent their clients. A Marine Corps JAG Officer serves the Marine Corps by serving the individual Marine in a way that no other Marine can. If you feel a call to serve and want to put your mastery of the law to good use, reach out to the Dallas Officer Selection Team to find out what it takes to join these highly sought out Marines! https://youtu.be/vvdC2T8OfGk 469-475-0194 #usmc #marinejag #usmcocs #judgeadvocategeneral #uniformcodeofmilitaryjustice #marinelaw #ostdallas #utdallas #udallas #smu #uttyler #tamucommerce #sfasu #uarkansas #ualittlerock
1st Lt Holly Sandler made history in 2017 becoming the first female Marine to become an Artillery Officer, and went on to become a Firepower Control Team Leader and All Domain Effects Team Leader at one of Marine Artillery’s most specialized units. In the world of artillery the phrase “artillery is king of the battlefield” is often heard. This is because of the mass amount of firepower a single artillery battery can bring to the table. The Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company (ANGLICO) embodies this saying. By specializing in coordinating air power, artillery fires, and naval firepower into a comprehensive fire support package from the ANGLICO operator’s radio, these highly specialized small teams deploy with Marine, joint and allied conventional and Special Operations Forces to augment that unit’s lethality. Low level static line airborne training, military freefall parachutist, survival-evasion-resistance-escape (SERE) training, and joint terminal attack controller (JTAC) certification are just some of the skills these highly sought after Marines can acquire; skills and training usually reserved strictly for Special Operations Forces. ANGLICO Marines are some of the DoD’s most sought after operators that can bridge the gap between the conventional forces and Special Operations Forces with ease.

Candidate Nicolas is from Cedal Hill, Texas but moved to College Station to study History and Arab Studies at Texas A&M University in 2018, where he was an active member of the well known Texas A&M Corps of Cadets. After graduating he moved to Grapevine in 2023 to find work. He has a family history of Marine Corps service that inspired him to join. His uncle would tell him stories of being a Marine during the Vietnam War and helping to process refugees into the United States in California. Candidate Nicolas earnestly desires to help people in need, and believes the Marine Corps will enable him to do so because in his words "...the Marine Corps is the world's greatest fighting force, and the first to arrive at any conflict." The most impactful person in his life was Chief Master Sergeant Kieth Pinkard US Air Force (retired). He hopes to become an F-35B Lightning II pilot. The F-35B is the most advanced jet and VTOL platform in the military to date, and Candidate Nicolas plans to develop mastery of leadership by becoming extremely proficient in his field. When asked why he chose the Marine Corps over other opportunities, he stated "...I want my place in the world's greatest fighting force to be earned, not given." He joined the OST Dallas candidate pool in April 2023. He chose OST Dallas because he feels that Captain Moore and Staff Sergeant Posadas have been very welcoming and communicative, and he's grateful that they have been able to help him move towards his dream. His advice to other candidates is "...keep your head down, keep your nose to the grindstone. This is a door with many opportunities, do not stop knocking on it. Be your very best. Show up and show out." #usmc #usmcocs #f35blightningII #ostdallas #usmcaviation #utdallas #udallas #tamucommerce #tamu #uttyler #uarkansas #ualittlerock #sfasu #smu
Candidate Funston lived in San Antonio before moving to the Dallas-Fort Worth area in 2012. Growing up in San Antonio played a part in his desire to join the military, due to being around several military servicemembers during the peak of Operation Iraqi Freedom and listening to their stories. He attended Michigan State University and majored in Political Science. His ideal post in the Marines would be in Psychological Operations (PsyOps) as a Psychology Operations Officer. When asked who the most impactful person in his life is, he referenced Ndamukong Suh, an athlete who showed him to push himself even when things around him are challenging and difficult. He wants to join the brotherhood of Marines, gain stability in life, and opportunities to travel the world. He noticed that Marines of all eras have an innate bond that no other organization can match, and he wants to become a part of that shared culture. He first joined the Dallas OST's candidates in September 2022, and says that Dallas OST "...is a great place to prepare for OCS." His advice to other candidates is to attend all monthly candidate pool events and be patient with the application process. "If the Marine Corps is part of your dreams, don't give up no matter how long it takes." He hopes to begin Officer Candidate Course in September 2023 so he can earn the title Marine. #usmc #usmcocs #officercandidateschool #ostdallas #captainmoore #utdallas #udallas #tamucommerce #uttyler #smu #sfasu #uarkansas #ualittlerock
0602 Communications Officer. Without effective communication, nothing gets done right. With good communication, everything runs smoothly. The Communications Officer (CommO) is the leader within the communications field. Military communications includes the design, installation, interconnection, operation and defense of networks in support of data systems to provide secure, non-secure, and coalition information exchange requirements in a tactical or garrison environment. The CommO commands a communications unit within the Marine Air Ground Task Force, and are responsible for all aspects of planning, installation, operation, displacement and maintenance of network, transmission, and data systems. They are the voice and ears of the command center. Without communications Marines led by their CommO, the commanding officer cannot receive the information he needs to make effective decisions. This is where technological skills and knowledge are leveraged to ensure success on the battlefield for the Marines engaged in forward operations. #communicationsofficer #marinecommunications #usmc #ostdallas #marineofficer #communicationnetwork #radio #utdallas #udallas #smu #dallascommunitycollege #tamucommerce #sfasu #uttyler #uarkansas #ualittlerock
Candidate Davis Foringer is a native Texan who spent most of his life in Houston until moving to Dallas to take the first steps towards his goals. An ancient Greek philosopher stated that a warrior should be a scholar at the same time, and Candidate Foringer embodies this notion well. He studied political science at the University of Dallas to strengthen, but condidtioned his body by training with a mixed martial arts group on campus. His grandfather was a Naval Aviator who would share exhilirating stories of his time in the service with Candidate Foringer. He had already made the decision to join the Marines by the time he began at University of Dallas, stating "...they are trained to be tough and able to overcome any challenge with their team and strength. I hope to attain some of that strength one day." Although he struggled at first when he came to the Dallas OST in January 2022, his mentor 2nd Lt Blanchet gave him the motivation to push through any challenge he faced. He hopes to serve in the intelligence field and have a large impact on the success of the mission, and to use his time and experience in the Marines to launch him into a career in the FBI. This young, intelligent, and highly motivated man has a bright future ahead of him already. When asked what he hopes to develop during his time, he states "...I want to be stronger, gain the experience and knowledge to know I can take on anything that life throws at me." He expects the challenges of Officer Candidate School to test him to his limits, but says "...I also expect it to be worth it." He wants to impart some advice to other candidates and hopefuls, to "...keep going. If things get tough, you keep going. If you want to stop, just keep going. If you think you are afraid, it's fine. Take a moment, then keep going. No matter what, don't stop. It's okay to take a moment to reflect and focus on what you have learned, but don't stop." #usmc #officercandidatecourse #marines #marineofficer #usmcocs #ostdallas #davisforinger #intelligence #marineintelligence
Candidate Jeffrey Butters comes from Mansfield, Texas, a small suburb of the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. He studied Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University, where he was a member of the famed Corps of Cadets. Clearly Candidate Butters has a future in aviation as evidenced by his time as the Student Project Manager of the Bush Combat Development Complex Autonomous Detection System. This experience will no doubt put him in line for his dream job in the Marines, to be a Marine Aviator piloting an F-35B Lightning II. His father has had the greatest impact over him, saying that "...he's always been available when I needed him,...he's taught me to be the man I am today and embody the characteristics of a great man." His desire is to become a leader of Marines, hoping to make his Marines more capable and skilled through his leadership. But he fully expects to be challenged everyday of his time in the Marines. When asked why he chose the Marines in particular, he succinctly responds "...there is no branch capable of doing more, with less. It's the path more challenging, the path more dangerous. The conditions are worse, yet time and time again, the Marines rise to the occasion. I could have joined any other branch, and they would have taken me. I wanted to be a part of the best branch, especially as an Aviator. I want to not only conquer that atmosphere, I want to thrive in it." His journey to the Marines started at OST College Station. But between focusing on school and determindely seeking out an aviation contract, he had to transfer to several other OSTs, finally finding his place at OST Dallas in October 2022. He is scheduled to begin OCS in September 2023 and plans to stand proudly at his November graduation holding the title of Marine. His advice for candidates following in his footsteps are "...consistently working out is key. Focus on cardio and calisthenics more than lifting weights. The transformation to Marine doesn't begin at OCS, it begins right now in your daily preparations." #jeffreybutters #marineocs #officercandidateschool #marineaviation #usmc #usmcocs #ostdallas #officerselectionteamdallas #captainfrancesmoore #f35blightning #marineaviator
Like most Marines, answering "who has been the most impactful person to you" is difficult. "This is hard to answer, as every Marine has left a lasting impact on me. But career wise my last Platoon Sergeant Gunnery Sergeant Leiseth had to have been the most impactful." The Gunnery Sergeant acted as Candidate Matheson's mentor and teacher, guiding him through the ranks from Lance Corporal to Staff Sergeant. Making the mental transition from follower to leader is often tricky for young Marines, but Gunnery Sergeant Leiseth was there to show Candidate Matheson how to become the leader of Marines he was meant to be. "He also challenged myself and those around him to better themselves constantly and without that I feel that I may not be where I am today." He wants to give back to the Corps what he has been given, what he calls his "...second home and family. I hope to be the change that some Marines are looking for along with providing leadership and guidance to young Marines that may feel lost. My goal is to help create and retain Marines that are both highly qualified Marines and leaders." This commitment to developing those around him stems from lessons from his father; "...to be the best you have to join the best. That was instilled in me when I was young by my father, and I never let it go." Candidate Matheson's dedication and commitment to the Marines will no doubt create a new generation of strong and capable warfighters ready to face 21st century problems. Those under his charge and working alongside him will be able to count themselves among the most fortunate Marines for having him there serving them. #utd #ud #tamucommerce #tamutexarkana #uttyler #sfasu #ualr #uca #usmc #universityofarkansasmonticello #ocs #marineofficer #marine #eagleglobeanchor #andrewmatheson #OSTDallas #dallasmarines #0802fieldartilleryofficer #marineartillery
While serving the Marine Corps as an enlisted CBRN Specialist, Candidate Matheson decided to pursue commissioning and become an officer. He graduated from UT Dallas in 2020 with a B.S. in Accounting, played club rugby and managed the team's treasury for two years. As an officer he wants to return to his artillery roots and strives to become an 0802 Field Artillery Officer. Of his ten years in the Marine Corps Reserves, he spent nine at an artillery battery. Many of his mentors came from the battery, and says "...I enjoy the culture, ops tempo and the direction that artillery is going with force design 2030." Candidate Matheson has a bright future ahead of him in the Marine Corps. He is scheduled to attend the Officer Candidate Course in September 2023 and graduate in November 2023. Following his entry level officer training, he will move on to The Basic School where he will learn the fundamentals of commanding a provisional rifle platoon before moving onto his MOS specialty. #utd #ud #tamucommerce #tamutexarkana #uttyler #sfasu #ualr #uca #usmc #universityofarkansasmonticello #ocs #marineofficer #marine #eagleglobeanchor #andrewmatheson #OSTDallas #dallasmarines #0802fieldartilleryofficer #marineartillery
Candidate Matheson is one of those types of people that his peers fight to have on their team because they know they can rely on him when things get tough. Born in Plano, TX but raised in Allen just outside of the greater Dallas area, Candidate Matheson came to see Allen as his hometown. It would be safe to say that he was born to become a Marine, following in his father's and grandfather's footsteps into the Corps, and joining the military service at large alongside his cousin in the Navy, and his uncles in the Army and the Navy. When asked what they taught him, he says "...their stories about their time in service brought me to studying and researching military history and drove me to wanting to join." But the greatest influence on his decision to join the Marines would have to be his father and grandfather. His grandfather would share his WWII stories in between his father's tales of serving as a CH-46 pilot during his Marine Corps service, leading Matheson to desire the hardest way to serve; "...further discussions with my dad and researching how they had the best and most demanding training solidified my choice." Candidate Matheson first joined the Marine Corps in 2012, attended Boot Camp at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego in February 2013, and was slated to become a 5711 Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear Defense Specialist. After completing his training, he served in Headquarters Battery and Delta Batteries, 2nd Battalion, 14th Marine Regiment before transferring to Headquarters Battery, 3rd Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment. He deployed with 3/12 to Okinawa and says "...going on deployment was the greatest experience of my career so far...being able to live in and travel through Japan was an incredible experience." #utd #ud #tamucommerce #tamutexarkana #uttyler #sfasu #ualr #uca #usmc #universityofarkansasmonticello #ocs #marineofficer #marine #eagleglobeanchor #andrewmatheson #OSTDallas #dallasmarines #0802fieldartilleryofficer #marineartillery
But when asked who is the most impactful person in his life he readily responded with, "The most impactful person on me in my daily life is my girlfriend, Sydney. Sydney has stuck with me from day one of me joining the pool, and she has supported me through it all. I would not have half of the progress I have made without her constant support and encouragement. I was scared the military life would scare her away, but she has embraced every challenge with me head on and I look forward to joining the Corps with her by my side." #utd #ud #tamucommerce #tamutexarkana #uttyler #sfasu #ualr #uca #usmc #universityofarkansasmonticello #ocs #marineofficer #marine #eagleglobeanchor #beauregardcastleberry #OSTDallas #dallasmarines
After graduation he is scheduled to attend Officer Candidate Course 245 in January 2024. He was fortunate to attend the Mini-OCS training event earlier this year in College Station, Texas, where he was challenged by the instructors and fellow candidates both physically and mentally. He intends to take the lessons learned and constructive criticism to improve himself before attending OCC 245. He looks forward to learning how to lead from the front, develop critical thinking skills, and leadership abilities so that he can put them to good use to take care of his future Marines. His dream job within the Marine Corps is 0402 Logistics Officer. Being a very punctual and scheduled person, his priority is to ensure Marines have what they need and when they need it to accomplish their mission. He already recognizes that quality leadership and communication skills are vital to the success of those that he serves, and while in the Corps he plans to build upon these skills. In everything he does he puts the needs and success of others before himself, a trait no doubt passed onto him from his uncles in law enforcement. #utd #ud #tamucommerce #tamutexarkana #uttyler #sfasu #ualr #uca #usmc #universityofarkansasmonticello #ocs #marineofficer #marine #eagleglobeanchor #beauregardcastleberry #OSTDallas #dallasmarines
As we round off the week OST Dallas is excited to welcome many of these individuals to our “mini-ocs/pool function”, weekend. We have such a great group of young men and women. It will be a pleasure to see them put all of the lessons learned over the past few months into practice, we have high expectations and can’t wait for the weekend to arrive! Here, we have the last group of March after conducting their board PFT’s. Let’s keep up the good work and stay focused! #USMC #training #PFT #Poolees #OSTDALLAS #motivation #encouragement #friendship #smiles #dedication #action
Early mornings cultivate more than individual input/output entered into the system in order to achieve a desired result. In life, the people you will meet along the way are a part of the process and the process is the most valuable part of the journey. Many people get caught up in the glory of the result, after all - it is prime time for showcasing all the hard work. But the people we meet are invaluable - because with some of those people, bonds are made that help create a full life...and in the Marine Corps those people become brothers and sisters at your side. 📷: some of our poolees after an early morning session; peep the fist bump and good vibes. #USMC #perspective #fitness #Texas #sunrise #friendship #bonds #brotherhood #sisterhood #ostdallas

The IRS has announced that taxpayers can now submit Form 1040-X electronically with commercial tax-filing software. As IRS e-filing has grown during the past 30 years, the 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, has been one of the last major individual tax forms that needed to be paper filed. Today's announcement follows years of effort by the IRS, and the enhancement allows taxpayers to quickly electronically correct previously filed tax returns while minimizing errors.
