A great, sunny weekend to blow winter dust out of our trigger fingers and civic mindedness!

We had a full first day of instructions, along with 3 AQTs completed, and 3 new Riflemen!

On to day 2!

This sounds like it was a great event. Thank you to the hugely talented and dedicated instructor team; as well as to all the dedicated attendee's that came out. Also, congratulations to our new Rifleman!

On that note, did I see John Serrano getting a Rifleman's Patch? Proving once a Marine, always a Marine; living the creed that every Marine is a Rifleman first. Ooh Rah Marine!! So glad to see you made it.  O0

When one has obtained those essentials necessary for well-being â€" food, shelter, warmth, and clothing, there is an alternative to struggling through steel jungles for the luxuries. That's to adventure on life itself, one's vacation from humble toil having commenced." -Townsend Whelen

I can't believe the Young Marines went through almost 5,000 rounds.  Wow! 

And they really came together and beat the older generation in battleship.
