Jude Michael Restis, son of Linda and Jude Restis of Kent, was commissioned Aug. 9 as a second lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps.<\/p>\n
To be commissioned as an officer in the Marines, a candidate must graduate college and successfully complete the Marines\u2019 Officer Candidate School.<\/p>\n
Restis, a 2004 graduate of Kent Meridian High School, recently received his bachelor\u2019s degree in geography and political science from Central Washington University in Ellensburg.<\/p>\n
He completed 12 weeks of Officer Candidate School in 2006 in Quantico, Va.<\/p>\n
The next step for Restis is \u201cThe Basic School\u201d in Quantico, a six-month program for all marine officers where they learn to be leaders of Marines.<\/p>\n
All Marine officers, no matter their final occupation, are provisional infantry officers and have to be able to lead riflemen in combat.<\/p>\n
They also learn finer skills, such as how to host dinners with foreign dignitaries.<\/p>\n
After the Basic School, Restis will report to Pensacola, Fla., for primary flight training.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
