 Becoming a range coach is as difficult as you make it, and if you are predisposed to the knowledge base, anyone who is motivated and is a good learner would be able to manage. The benefits of a range coach could depend on your situation. However, for anyone that has an interest in shooting sports, firearm training, just teaching in the Marine Corps in general, obviously the benefit is getting some of those skills and being able to practice them. Otherwise, if maybe you have a more general interest in just improving yourself as a Marine, then there are skills here that you can really only learn in a mentoring or an instructing role. I feel that being a range coach is the best assignment that I've received in the Marine Corps so far. The people here are amazing. One of the most supportive chain of commands that I've had to this point, and the skills that I've learned here will certainly stick with me. But for somebody who's interested, units get a debt, and I'm sure commanders would much rather send a Marine who's motivated to do the job if you speak up and let them know.
