The MCMAP program attempts to address teaching Marines close combat mindset and skills, but our Marksmanship training does not, at the moment, do the same thing for shooting skills.

And, of course, how to engage targets. I became a big fan of EMP when I had a rifle platoon, to the point that my Marines became sick of dry-fire presentation drills.
Sounds like a winner. They may have hated the drills, but i bet they could shoot.

Somewhere a True Believer is training to kill you. He is training with minimal food or water, in austere conditions, training day and night. The only thing clean on him is his weapon and he made his web gear. He doesn't worry about what workout to do - his ruck weighs what it weighs, his runs end when the enemy stops chasing him. This True Believer is not concerned about 'how hard it is;' he knows either he wins or dies. He doesn't go home at 17:00, he is home.
He knows only The Cause.

Still want to quit?
