00:00.009 --> 00:02.009
Being on an air station , there's a

00:02.079 --> 00:04.429
high demand for each marine's time .

00:05.079 --> 00:07.190
And one of the things that oftentimes

00:07.190 --> 00:08.912
gets put on the back burner is

00:08.912 --> 00:10.246
marksmanship training .

00:14.520 --> 00:16.687
There's a multitude of ways to improve

00:16.687 --> 00:19.700
beyond annual rifle training . Three

00:19.850 --> 00:21.719
points out of 52 points . You're

00:21.729 --> 00:23.840
waiting for the Marine Corps to train

00:23.840 --> 00:25.896
you , uh especially when it comes to

00:25.896 --> 00:27.951
marksmanship . You're probably gonna

00:27.951 --> 00:30.100
fall short of the mark . Marines who

00:30.110 --> 00:32.110
come out to inter mural matches are

00:32.110 --> 00:34.332
gonna see a different style of shooting

00:34.332 --> 00:36.554
and they've probably been introduced to

00:36.554 --> 00:40.319
us at this point , right ,

00:51.970 --> 00:55.490
mcas Real Mar competition , a seven day

00:55.500 --> 00:57.700
event consisting of annual rifle and

00:57.880 --> 01:00.110
FOL qualifications as well as multiple

01:00.119 --> 01:02.119
days of rifle and FOL competition .

01:04.089 --> 01:07.180
Three years never point . Your weapon

01:07.400 --> 01:09.733
is not to keep your finger straight off .

01:14.150 --> 01:16.261
Even a novice shooter can come out to

01:16.261 --> 01:18.428
an intramural marksmanship competition

01:18.428 --> 01:20.594
and have a great time . They're really

01:20.594 --> 01:22.428
just dipping their toes into the

01:22.428 --> 01:22.260
possibilities of competing .

01:44.199 --> 01:46.559
The reason that we run a competition is

01:46.569 --> 01:48.847
to improve that individual's lethality .

01:48.847 --> 01:50.791
It's a good way to get marines out

01:50.791 --> 01:52.902
there to shoot more and to be able to

01:52.902 --> 01:55.125
increase their proficiency in ways that

01:55.125 --> 01:57.069
they may not be getting with their

01:57.069 --> 01:56.139
normal unit .

02:08.289 --> 02:08.699
Yeah .
