    A group of military recruits or candidates, likely U.S. Marines based on the MARPAT camouflage gear visible, are standing in a line inside an indoor facility. They are wearing olive green sweatshirts and civilian-style pants with athletic shoes, carrying military field equipment including packs and gear. A whiteboard on the wall is labeled 'OCS' (Officer Candidates School), suggesting this is a gear issue or inspection event.

    Marine Officer Candidates with Delta Company, Officer Candidate Class-221, receive their initial uniform issue aboard Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va., on Jan. 21, 2016. The candidates were fitted for their uniforms with the help of Marine Corps and civilian staff. The mission of Officer Candidates School (OCS) is to "educate and train officer candidates in Marine Corps knowledge and skills within a controlled, challenging, and chaotic environment in order to evaluate and screen individuals for the leadership, moral, mental, and physical qualities required for commissioning as a Marine Corps officer."
