I am about three weeks from hitting my 12 year mark in the Corps and there has been an 03 in front of my MOS for every bit of it....

The only guys I've ever heard say "Every Marine is a rifleman" were not from the infantry.

I would like to see them stick with iron sights in bootcamp, getting hits in the black from the 500 yard line with irons is a tremendous confidence booster for recruits.
