U.S. Marines Face Stricter Standards in Expert Marksmanship Qualification
Story by Sarah Wilson • 11h


The Marine Corps will soon make major changes to its shooting qualification standards, likely making it tougher for Marines to receive the storied “expert” shooter badge. That is according to the outcome of the fiscal 2024 combat marksmanship symposium, which took place at the end of 2023 with the service’s top weapons and range experts.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
