You need to first of all be physically prepared. Second of all, you need to understand it’s going to challenge you.
--Capt Zeb Beasley
The physical training program at Officer Candidates School is intense. Officers need the stamina and confidence to lead Marines in physically demanding situations, and that preparation begins here. You will complete endurance hikes of up to 15 miles in full combat gear, obstacle courses such as the elevated “Tarzan” course and combat conditioning, including a 3.5-mile combat simulation course.
At the beginning and end of training, you'll take a physical fitness test that includes a 3-mile run, pull-ups and crunches. You are expected to maintain a high fitness level for as long as you are a candidate, and throughout your career. To achieve this, candidates train with their NROTC units before and after OCS
