What a "DUH" piece....

That is unless times have changed so much since the early 50's that us jarheads would have to be going into the battle zone either untrained or needing remedial training...

Keeping sharp is fine...but this article seems to me to be implying that it's "remedial"....Or am I, almost 60 years removed from P.I., still overly reactive to anything that seems critical of the Corps?

This type of training should be basic for Marines. To think
that I have more tactical training than a jarhead is a serious concern.

I'll never forget going to the range at Fort Ord(yep, a long time ago) the day we were going to qualify during Basic Training. It was completely fogged in but they had us shoot anyway and I was in the first order. The targets were silhouettes(something new for the army at that time)and the only ones you could actually see were the 50 yard targets. Needless to say the whole order failed and had to shoot again. By the time the second order(and subsequent orders)had fired the fog had lifted.

It was very irritating to have to shoot again:)
