 Staff Sergeant Jeff Cochran received his instructor tab in the Marine Corps Martial Arts program in 2009. It's my responsibility to go out there and teach these techniques to the Marines. It makes no sense for me to hold all this information and not be able to provide that out to the Marines. Cochran and his fellow instructor taught basic martial arts skills to the Washier District Governor's personal security detachment. The two Afghan uniformed policemen were taught the basic warrior stance, different punches and counters, and other entry-level skills. I can protect myself also to protect the people of my country and the governor. Despite the language barrier, the Marines and police worked together to ensure the basic skills were covered. Reporting from Camp Leatherneck, Helmand Province, I'm Corporal Meredith Brown.
