What does an officer look for when someone wants to become a marine corps officer?

Certain key concepts: Always place the personal and professional welfare of your subordinates first. Praise in public, damn in private. Reward good performance, support improvement when there is a shortfall in performance.

Recognize that respect for your rank is required, while respect for you as a person must be earned...and to be earned it must be given in return. Never ask anyone to do anything you have not or would not do first. LEAD, do not just issue orders.

Be prepared to ask advice, listen, and learn from your more experienced subordinates.
