00:00.977 --> 00:04.060
- MCMAP teaches you that regardless of your MOS,

00:04.060 --> 00:05.978
you're still a warrior first.

00:05.978 --> 00:07.620
You know, MCMAP gets you

00:07.620 --> 00:10.454
out of your normal day-to-day element,

00:10.454 --> 00:14.621
and it teaches you the combatives of the Marine Corps.

00:15.814 --> 00:19.927
A lot of times Marines get so caught up in their jobs,

00:19.927 --> 00:21.260
MOS proficiency,

00:21.626 --> 00:23.853
they forget why they joined the Marine Corps.

00:23.853 --> 00:25.780
I wouldn't join the Marine Corps

00:25.780 --> 00:26.697
to be admin

00:27.853 --> 00:29.366
or to be a supply guy.

00:29.366 --> 00:30.614
Everybody joined the Marine Corps

00:30.614 --> 00:32.972
because they wanted to be a warrior.

00:32.972 --> 00:34.972
That's why I love MCMAP.

00:35.954 --> 00:39.994
That's why, I feel like it's going in the right way.

00:39.994 --> 00:40.842
For the Marines who feel like

00:40.842 --> 00:42.569
they lost their way in the program,

00:42.569 --> 00:45.570
my advice to you is to give it a shot.

00:45.570 --> 00:48.207
There's constantly new instructors being made.

00:48.207 --> 00:51.166
New ones being made, being taught it's not about them,

00:51.166 --> 00:53.024
it's about their physical, mental,

00:53.024 --> 00:55.908
character discipline that MCMAP has in the program.

00:55.908 --> 00:58.658
If you keep faith in the program,

00:58.997 --> 01:00.979
the program will do its job.

01:00.979 --> 01:02.924
The Marine Corps martial arts program has been

01:02.924 --> 01:05.164
around longer than any combative program

01:05.164 --> 01:06.952
that we have in the Marine Corps,

01:06.952 --> 01:09.316
and it's because it's working.

01:09.316 --> 01:11.483
It's because it's working.
