Desc: Class 186: The Making of a Marine Officer: Directed by Steve Elfers. It is 2004 and America is embroiled in a war in Afghanistan. With unprecedented access, film makers follow a class through 9 weeks of selection and training at the U.S. Marine Corps Officer Candidates School (OCS). These young candidates experience a crucible of shouting drill instructors, mental challenge and physical exhaustion. Some drop out. Some fail to make the cut. If they survive, they will be expected to lead Marines into combat. This is where their story begins.
