My wife's dad, who got a Bronze Star leading a minefield charge on the banks of the Moselle river at the battle of Nancy in France during ww2, attended this OCS, which many on here might possibly I'd thought never have heard of, it existed before army OCS was centralized at ft benning obviously, enjoy, many thanks....

As a Marine cannon-cocker I attended artillery schools in Fort Sill on three different occasions. Marine Artillery officers go there to get the 0802 MOS as well. I'm not sure when that became standard but Colonel Francis Fox Perry mentioned in his book "Three War Marine" that Fort Sill trained artillery officers were a prized asset in the Corps in early WW2.
One little known fact is that the Legendary Marine "Chesty" Puller was briefly an Artillery Officer at Quantico prior to WW2.
