I only have two criticisms of the program:
A)It’s limited to the Marines.
B)It’s limited to a specific urban area.
Of course, there is no way to measure the success of the program, so I don’t see it as taking off in any significant way. That would be a shame.

Agreed on all counts. Hopefully other TRULY 'progressive' school districts in other parts of the country will indicate an interest in a similar program in their area, but I won't be holding my breath.
This isn’t anything new. We did this this kind of thing in Navy recruiting twenty years ago. They actually flew a group of teachers out to the USS Lexington in the Gulf of Mexico.
Nothing is stopping the other services from doing the same thing.

This is done at both, San Diego and Parris Island, Depots and involves educators from across the United States.
Educator season begins on depot
Western NY, Northern Pa. Educators transformed during workshop
Teachers from 8th Marine Corps District go to class
Teaching the ways of the Corps
It’s a start. Far better than nothing.
