maybe officers don't even go to boot camp, i don't know, that's why im asking..

---> What are the differences between Enlisted and Officer training, boot camp wise, as in the first stages, not MOS or any of that stuff that comes later.. <------
 
Officers go to OCS (Office Candidate School)
Enlisted go to Boot Camp.

In OCS, they are in the business of weeding out those who are not ready and there are a lot of physical challenges and leadership challenges. They are happy to assist when you want to leave.

In Boot Camp, they keep you in, kind of the opposite and it is a lot more mental (games) as well as the physical. They want to mold you. They will make it hard to leave.
 
if u got NROTC, u go to OSC( officers candidate school) while ur in school, and then go to BCT. BCT is the same for all Marines
 
Officers don't go to the same "boot camp" as enlisted. They go to OCS, then TBS, then their MOS school, then to their unit.
 
Enlisted marines go to one of two places one being Parris Island, SC to be known as the islander marine and the other being San Diego, CA to known as the Hollywood marine.

Officers go to Officer Candidates School in Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia.
