Lance Cpl. Michael Farmer is trailed by a time keeper and a validator as he sprints through a course of fire during the United States Marine Corps Marksmanship Competition-Far East Dec. 8 aboard Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan. According to Staff Sgt. James Fehr, a small arms weapons instructor with the Marine Corps Shooting team, this year’s competition marked a drastic change in the way the Marine Corps usually holds the competition. “This is the first time ever that the Marine Corps has put the action shooting and traditional bull’s-eye shooting into one competition,” said Fehr. “This competition shows off the all-around skill of each Marine competing.” Farmer is a motor vehicle operator with 7th Communications Battalion, III Marines Expeditionary Force Headquarters Group.
