 They knew that we were going to start and then it was going to end but they didn't know what was in between I'm sure that was mentally challenging for them Today was our culminating event for the martial arts instructor course we ran all over the air base here in Spain got a little muddy ground fight each other quite a bit Being courageous having pride being confident is definitely something that you can't teach I would assume that these Marines wanted to be in my eyes because first They wanted the challenge and then second they wanted to contribute back to the Marines Everyone has that stigma of when someone graduates from a martial arts instructor course that all they're gonna come back and they're gonna slay us well I'm starting to understand why Marines who come back from martial arts instructors course are so motivated and it's because you spend a lot of your time at the course learning how to instruct and to mentor and really how to Motivate your Marines, so they want to come back and make you a little bit better Marine as well
