Become a Guard Marine

In addition to screening candidates for the Presidential Support Duty at the east and west coast Marine Corps Recruit Depots, the Presidential Support Program seeks to bolster its numbers by recruiting highly qualified candidates from the Active Component (AC) in the ranks of Sergeant and below. Marines that apply do not need to be in the 8152 OCCFIELD, as this billet can be attained upon selection, but must have attained the MOS of 03XX in the Marine Corps.

In order to be considered, potential PSP candidates should first reach out to the Presidential Support Program Coordinator so that the Section can ascertain whether you meet certain baseline requirements (outlined below). After you complete an initial screening, potential candidates must assemble a screening package and submit it to the Commanding Officer, Marine Barracks Washington D.C. If approved by ones’ monitor, candidates will then receive PCS orders to Marine Barracks Washington or Basic Security Guard School (BSG) if necessary.

The Section is looking for quality individuals of immaculate character, who possess a high degree of maturity, self-discipline, motivation and drive.

All further inquiries can be answered by calling the Presidential Support Program Recruiting Coordinator or by directing such calls to the Guard Company 1stSgt at (202) 433-4197.
