PLT 3026, earned the title of US MARINE June 1980. Of all of the fun and games while serving with distinction for 8 years, the rifle range was my favorite. And for those 8 years, I managed to shoot expert on the rifle and pistol ranges. Ever since getting out, I still maintain my marksmanship skills and help instruct civvies who never had any training of any sort. That IMO is the duty of ALL Marines, to instruct all civvies that we can for when the fertilizer hits the rotary oscillator-DOMESTICALLY. And most likely our own GOVERNMENT. Semper Fidelis.
The 2 weeks here was as intense as anything in the worldwide military. Sleep deprivation. Water deprivation. Chow deprivation. The most elaborate array of disciplines and punishments ever designed. Hours a day just in the pits. It made the Tet Offensive look like peace and quiet.

That field training was done at San Onofre ITS after the range in 1973.
I earned my title in 1982 and I am still extremely proud of it to this very day. And I will be until the day I die. Semper Fi, Marines.

Can we get a man with balls to narrate this video??!! If she read Dick and Jane , I might find her more suited to the story.
This must be new parts to Marine basic that was added along the way.
Damn. they had green grass at Edson Range back then?
Edson Range has loose red dirt in a spot called Happy Valley. No place for me.
