Typically, the core values are discussed immediately after physical training. “We’ve found that the message sticks better after the students have been exercising and their senses are still heightened,”

This was one part of the training that stuck with me that I really liked. Actually getting to beat the shit out of each other, and get chased around the O Course by a guy with an OC fogger, then sit down and talk about guys who earned the Medal of Honor in hand to hand combat situations just gives me a hard on.
I'm no martial arts afficianado, never had any other training than what the USMC has given me, but I really like the program and unlike some of the past programs the Corps has tried, I think this one is around to stay.
