Becoming a Marine isn’t just about uniforms and training—it’s about earning the title.
In this clip, Ivan F. Ingraham shares his emotional journey through USMC Officer Candidates School (OCS) at Quantico, describing the moment he was handed the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor (EGA) and officially became a United States Marine officer.
He reflects on the attrition at OCS, the discipline it takes to finish, and the overwhelming pride of joining the Marine Corps brotherhood. For anyone curious about the Marine Corps ethos of Honor, Courage, Commitment, this is the story behind the moment that changes everything.
