Career Path Starfleet Academy As with all Starfleet officers, Starfleet Marine Corps officers earn their degrees and commissions after graduating Starfleet Academy. Cadets are not required to specify their intention to become a marine officer during their first year, and all cadets are encouraged to learn more about the Starfleet Marine Corps. Those cadets who are seriously considering becoming a marine officer will typically seek a marine mentor and begin working on their application into the program after their first year, although the marine officer selection process can start at any point within the first 3 years at the academy. Prospective marine officers typically choose one of the following majors and complete the requirements just as any other cadet, but upon graduation, they receive a commission in the Starfleet Marine Corps: Helm/Navigation Communications/Operations Engineering Intelligence Security Tactical Starfleet Marine Basic School After graduation, marine officers complete additional training at the Starfleet Marine Basic School before given an assignment in the fleet. Here, they complete specific marine coursework as well as physical conditioning and exercises. Emphasis is placed on combat-related skills, although marine officers are Starfleet officers first and foremost, sworn to uphold the values of the Federation. Specific skills taught and exercises conducted at the Basic School: Physical endurance tests Swimming Long-distance hiking with full combat gear Climbing Extensive marksmanship training Live-fire simulations Battlefield communications Squad tactics & weapons Scouting & patrol Planetside navigation Combat operations Combat engineering Combat medicine Rules of engagement Training at the Starfleet Marine Basic School concludes with two weeks of exercises testing all skills learned over the previous weeks.
