WEBVTT 00:04.460 --> 00:06.627 Everyone thinks they're the best until 00:06.627 --> 00:08.460 they're put in a situation where 00:08.460 --> 00:10.460 they're not at the end of the day . 00:10.460 --> 00:13.989 We'll be ready for the next fight ready . 00:15.760 --> 00:18.979 Bye . And it's not as important . 00:30.280 --> 00:32.349 I'm first Lieutenant John Boak . I'm 00:32.360 --> 00:34.527 the assistant officer in charge of the 00:34.527 --> 00:36.027 Marine Corps shooting team 00:38.040 --> 00:39.929 along with integrating all of the 00:39.929 --> 00:42.096 different disciplines of shooting that 00:42.096 --> 00:44.151 we did . We also had our , our first 00:44.151 --> 00:46.262 two uh , night matches for the Marine 00:46.262 --> 00:48.373 Corps championships . We had a pistol 00:48.373 --> 00:50.429 night match , uh , which was a white 00:50.429 --> 00:52.540 light using weapons lights and then a 00:52.540 --> 00:54.651 rifle night match which was all under 00:54.651 --> 00:56.873 nods . Uh , using PB fourteens and X 15 00:56.873 --> 01:00.540 and 16 s cargo 160.31 13 , target 01:00.549 --> 01:02.750 130.32 5 . 01:07.040 --> 01:09.096 My name is Massar Nick Cap . I'm the 01:09.096 --> 01:11.040 staff and C IC of the Marine Corps 01:11.040 --> 01:14.139 shooting team , the Marine Corps 01:14.150 --> 01:16.317 shooting team . One of the things that 01:16.317 --> 01:18.372 we sell is competitive shooting . We 01:18.372 --> 01:20.261 want Marines to get out there and 01:20.261 --> 01:20.040 compete because it increases their 01:20.050 --> 01:21.994 confidence and confidence with the 01:21.994 --> 01:24.106 weapon system which in turn make them 01:24.106 --> 01:25.439 more lethal in combat . 01:30.860 --> 01:32.971 One of the things we did this year at 01:32.971 --> 01:35.138 championships was we conducted a World 01:35.138 --> 01:37.027 War II stage to pay homage to the 01:37.027 --> 01:39.249 Marines that fought in the Pacific . So 01:39.249 --> 01:39.180 the Marines , whether they were 01:39.190 --> 01:41.500 familiar with an M one grand or 1911 , 01:41.930 --> 01:44.152 that's something that they had to adapt 01:44.152 --> 01:46.486 to in order to maintain competitiveness . 01:47.970 --> 01:50.137 All of the Marines on the Marine Corps 01:50.137 --> 01:52.303 shooting team . One of the things that 01:52.303 --> 01:54.248 we really enjoy about Marine Corps 01:54.248 --> 01:56.359 Championships is seeing the growth of 01:56.359 --> 01:58.526 all of the competitors . And when they 01:58.526 --> 02:00.470 walk away at that award ceremony , 02:00.470 --> 02:00.010 walking across the stage , getting 02:00.019 --> 02:02.297 their handshake and getting that award , 02:02.297 --> 02:04.241 see that medal get put up on their 02:04.241 --> 02:06.408 chest . It means a lot because we know 02:06.408 --> 02:05.980 that they're going to take this back to 02:05.989 --> 02:08.045 their units . They're going to train 02:08.045 --> 02:10.156 marines , they're going to bring more 02:10.156 --> 02:12.267 out next year to compete . And at the 02:12.267 --> 02:11.610 end of the day , we'll be ready for the 02:11.619 --> 02:12.699 next fight as a result .
