First, breathe. You've got time.
Second, post this in /r/usmcboot for better answers.
Third, I'll break down your post. Try to use paragraphs next time.
College freshman goes to recruiter office wanting to be an officer. Recruiter gets OSO on phone, OSO says PLC is my go to program, not mentioning any other programs.
If you want to be an officer, you need to be speaking with the OSO as your primary point of contact. The recruiter's job is to sign up enlisted Marines, and he will push you towards that because that is his job. Again, your OSO comes first, then we might come back to the recruiter.
PLC = Full time college student, boot camp/training during summer for a certain amount of time, I think 6 weeks he said. I don't attend anything like ROTC, just stay in shape and perform academically. Is there anything else I am missing to this? I want to know if there are any other programs that may be in my favor.
This is correct. If your university does not have an NROTC program, then you will apply to the PLC program, which for you as a freshman will be two 6-week sessions during the summer. If you complete PLC, then you will commission after you finish your degree. You will have occasional events to attend during the school year at the OSO's office with other officer candidate applicants. OCC is another option, but that is for people with a college degree (older) and is more competitive.
After I got off the phone I told the recruiter that I have a college fund which I do and basically if the military doesn't pay my tuition are there any bonuses or anything else like that. He said no, PLC doesn't offer any kind of tuition assistance, it basically just gets you qualified for OCS. Is this true? What am I exactly doing in PLC? What are the courses in the summer? Does PLC really not offer any tuition assistance of the sort?
This is incorrect. PLC does offer tuition assistance, but not much. It's in the form of the MCTAP and MCFAP; tuition assistance and financial assistance programs. This is a couple of hundred dollars per semester and you can access it once you complete the first 6-week session. Taking it will mean that you extend your service commitment by a few months, and if you do not need it it may not be worth taking.
OCS is the physical place that hosts PLC; you apply to OCS as a PLC candidate/student. Think of applying to a college to study a certain major. Your OSO can answer questions about what the course entails, but the first thing is to do well in school and get in very good shape.
After talking to the recruiter about PLC he of course brought up the reserves. Now it sounds like sunshine and rainbows if it works out like he says but that's why I'm here. If I join the reserves it's going to force me to withdraw from college for a semester (which isn't a big deal to me if it is very beneficial) basically 3 months basic training then 3 months MOS. HE DID NOT EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THIS. I'm assuming I get set up with my unit and we do drills once a weekend every month. So during this time I reenroll in school and apply for PLC. (Yes no?)
Technically yes, but realistically no. There is no reason to join the reserves if you do not want to, and it will not help you much if at all to get accepted to PLC. The timeline described is fairly accurate, but is not at all required to do PLC.
Now once I'm back in school the recruiter said that you have to apply for PLC. He made it sound very easy to get into, but from what I've read online it's very very competitive, but would being a former enlisted would that boost my chances of getting in?
Realistically, no. Maybe a little if you are a borderline applicant, but if you are at all decent then it will make no significant difference.
He said if you don't make it the first time, you apply when it comes around again. What does this mean?
There are 3-4 selection boards (one every few months) that choose which applicants are selected for PLC each year. If you aren't picked by one of them, you can reapply to another.
Once in PLC I'm now apart of officer training, so the contract I sign with reserves is now pardoned or canceled. Is this true? The contract I sign would be of 6 years.
Correct. If you are a reservist, you must get what is called a conditional release from your reserve unit, which allows you to detach from your unit and reattach to OCS as a candidate. Provided that you graduate from PLC, you will no longer be part of your reserve unit. Potentially, you could enlist and complete training, then apply and be accepted to PLC directly afterward. You would continue drilling on weekends until you commission. In my opinion, if your goal is to be an officer, not really worthwhile, and it causes headaches at the reserve unit because they thought you would be working for them.
Now another thing he mentioned was that if I am in the reserves and get into PLC they give me tuition assistance. About 952$ dollars per month from the Montgomery GI Bill for school. I have a college fund so it doesn't matter to me, but he said since I have a college fund I can basically pocket that money? Now that sounds very illegal to me but not sure if it is? Can I really pocket that if I have college payed for? Is there a certain amount of time that I have to be enlisted in order to get that?
See my answer above about tuition assistance. You can get college funds from your service in the reserves, and I believe that you can get both the reserve TA and the PLC MCTAP at the same time. It's sent to you as a stipend, so it is in fact yours to do with what you will. Each is a few hundred per semester.
I'm very confused on the exact roadmap you go from reserves to PLC to officer in the Marines. Sorry lots of info, recruiter just didn't answer a lot of my questions. Thank you for taking the time to read and answer if you do.
I will reiterate that you do not need to enlist into the reserves in order to apply to the PLC program. The majority of candidates do not. Your recruiter's job is to recruit enlisted Marines, so he is marketing the reserves to you in order to do his job. You can enlist into the reserves if you want to, but there is no significant competitive advantage and you should not do it if that is your reason for doing so. Again, you do need to be talking to your OSO, but you do not need to be talking to the enlisted recruiter.
To answer your post below, if you enlist and then are not accepted to PLC, you don't get to back out of your enlistment. If you make a commitment to serve you will need to see it through. This should be obvious.
To outline the process: you enlist, and take off time from college. You complete boot camp and MOS school, then return to school while starting to drill on weekends once a month. When you return to school, you can apply to PLC via your OSO. If accepted by the board, you attend your first 6-week increment of PLC at OCS the following summer. You then return and continue drilling until your next increment the next summer. If you finish that session, you return to school to finish your degree while continuing to drill with your reserve unit. When you graduate, you commission as an O-1 and are no longer part of your reserve unit. You then are assigned to a training company at TBS and the officer training process begins.
