 Good morning. My name is Sergeant John Glomba and I'm a competitor and instructor with the Marine Corps shooting team here on Quantico. So this week we just concluded the one-week Marine Corps Marship Championships which encompassed all the medalists from all the geographic locations that we have held Marine Corps Marship competitions at. The varying disciplines they competed in were USPSA, carbine hit-factor, three-gun, skill challenge and PRS followed up by a team rifle and team pistol match that included some of the skills that they are required to understand and be competitive in for the matches that we held during the week. So I'm a recipient of the Gold Lockheimer Trophy and medal. The Lockheimer Trophy is an award given to the overall high shooter of the match. In my case, I competed at a high enough level in each discipline over the week that my average together ended up placing me first overall. The biggest reason I think I succeeded primarily goes to the credit of the instructors that I had here on the Marine Corps shooting team. It wasn't for having them basically being on my heels and keeping me in my games. A lot of the credit goes to them and to me, I shot my game, I did what I could and it all played out in the end. Alright, as for you senior enlisted leaders, it is your responsibility to make sure your Marines are well-trained in every aspect and one of these is the use of the service rifle. I highly recommend you as well push your Marines to the highest level to come out to these matches and compete and also get their invitation to championships. Again, as our responsibility as leaders both enlisted and officer to ensure our Marines are trained and rated the highest level going forward into our next phase of combat whenever that might be. As it comes down to the day, Aver Marine is and should be a rifleman.
