This is a place for recruits to learn and practice the basic fundamentals of hand to hand combat. There are two main categories that all Marines are trained in here; Marine Corp Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) which encompasses basic Hand to Hand combat with your Rifle and without. This is where Recruits first learn to square off against an opponent and harness that vicious fighting spirit that allows one to overcome all obstacles. In a fight you must become a killer. You must kill your enemy before he kills you. This is the mentality that you learn to be a survivor because if you don't.. you will be a dead Marine... and unless you were given an order to die.. it is unauthorized and against Marine Corps Policy!... We are not trained to die for our country... we are trained to make the other poor sap die for his.
So while on here during all courses of participation you will sound off not with a "Yes Sir".. but a firm resounding "KILL" is that UNDERSTOOD!
Outstanding.
Now get into Extended Platoon PT formation......... MOVE!
At all times while fighting with your partner (which partners are on a first come first serve basis) you will listen to any Drill Instructor or Officers instructions. They will tell you if you are doing something wrong and correct you. Remember INTENSITY is key here... but SAFETY is paramount!
