First-class summer
First-class cruises occupy a minimum of eight weeks, which can be spent on a surface ship
or submarine or with an aviation squadron. Mids considering the Marine Corps can spend
four weeks in an officer candidate course at Quantico and another four weeks with a Fleet
Marine Force unit. Selected Mids can substitute a four-week internship for half of their
eight weeks. Opportunities as a detailer and to attend summer school are also available.
