On behalf of the entire staff of officers, staff noncommissioned officers, enlisted Marines and civilian personnel, I extend a warm and personal welcome to the Marine Corps Engineer School. For more than 50 years, the Marine Corps Engineer School has been producing trained and qualified basic student, journeymen, chief and officer war fighters for the operational forces.
Courthouse Bay is an ideal location for engineer training, with indoor classrooms, and many acres of training areas and ranges. Although classroom instruction is necessary at times, we emphasize “hands on” practical application training to enhance learning the “art” and “science” of the Marine Corps Engineer.
My staff and I look forward to working with you. I am certain you will find your time at the Engineer School both educational and personally rewarding.
Semper Fidelis,
J.J. Johnson
Colonel, U.S. Marine Corps
Commanding Officer
