 I'm Sergeant Latham Delzies. I'm from Syracuse, New York, and I am a primary markship instructor. I joined the Marine Corps for the Brotherhood itself and the Commander. Growing up in New York, I really didn't have much. So when it comes down to it, I feel like every branch has their own version of the Brotherhood itself. But when it came down to the Marine Corps, it was not just a number. It was truly just a family itself. And I really wanted to be part of that family. The first time I ever really wanted to become a primary markship instructor was when I was a recruit. Something that influenced me from my PMI when I was a recruit, I guess it was just the way he really interacted with us. He wasn't just a primary markship instructor, but he was also a mentor. So he taught us how a Marine should be, but also taught us about markship. I truly think that we are a tip of the spear, like when it comes down to it, because at the end, every Marine is a rifleman, and then that's what PMIs make sure. PMIs are important because we are what makes every Marine a referee. The biggest thing I love about my job, what I love is seeing my product grow itself. So every day I wake up, I teach them not only fundamentals, but how to actually use the fundamentals when it actually counts, when it comes down to down range. Now actually seeing everything I've taught them and seeing them grow after time, like that's the biggest win for me. Seeing a recruit with zero knowledge when it comes down to fundamentals, when it comes down to shooting, when it comes down to markship, and seeing them in two weeks qualify, not only just qualify, but especially when they shoot expert, that shows me all my products, like actually going into the Marine Corps, well win.
