The Marine Corps has two missions; to make Marines and to win battles. This focus on the infantry is matched with the doctrine that "Every Marine is a rifleman," a focus of Commandant Alfred M. Gray, Jr., emphasizing the infantry combat abilities of every Marine. All enlisted Marines, regardless of military specialization, receive training as a rifleman; all officers receive training as infantry platoon commanders. The value of this culture has been demonstrated many times throughout history. For example, at Wake Island "The Alamo of the Pacific", when all the Marine aircraft were shot down, pilots continued the fight as ground officers, leading supply clerks and cooks in a final defensive effort. Wake's defense in 1941 gave America it's first bright spot during the first months of war in the Pacific. It provided Americans a stirring example of Courage and heroism adding another chapter to Marine Corps History.
it's not hard to understand even if your a nurse your a rifleman lol

By xMuscles [Affiliate User] 1219788318 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removei got a 79 and im going 0311. just think of it this way, many people who go 03 may just be doing it because theyre not really qualified to do much else. so for those of us who have higher scores, we may be more likely to get into cooler specialties like marine recon or scout snipers. if you want to be a rifleman, do it. i leave in 10 months for boot. good luck. semper fi
