 What this really is is a chance for the Marines who are able to pull through these couple of days of training. It's the next step in potentially becoming a McQuist instructor and training the next group of Marines and reaching them from beginner to intermediate all the way through. So essentially this is the last step before the Marines become trainers. Today we started off with a 1200 meters drift swim that involves every 300 meters starting in full camis and boots and shedding layers of clothing eventually till we were swimming in just givey shorts. In a combat arms MOS we need to be more prepared to swim in a austere open water environment. The pool is a great first step but the second step is going to begin the students out into the open water and later on courses.
