Ronald Ellison, a social studies teacher at Jim Thorpe Area School District, Jim Thorpe, PA, shoots the M16A4 rifle at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C., March 7, 2018. Recruiting Stations nationwide bring groups of educators and media to MCRD Parris Island as part of Educators Workshop where they experienced what it’s like to become a U.S. Marine and take that experience and knowledge back to their organizations and share what they’ve learned. “Every Marine is, first and foremost, a rifleman. All other conditions are secondary,” spoken by Gen. Alfred M. Gray, 29th Commandant of the Marine Corps. Marines take pride in the things that make them stand apart from the other branches, this being one of those things. So, educators were given a shortened version of the class recruits receive before heading out to the firing range. Each educator got the opportunity to shoot the rifle in order to represent how the Marine Corps expects all Marines to be efficient as a riflemen. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Carlos Cruz Jr.)
