Marine Corps Ninja Skills Continued

So apparently I did not hit save or publish or whatever the last time I wrote anything a few weeks ago.  I had several other pictures included and a lot more typed up.  Apparently it never made it to the publish post portion of this blog.  I'm not exactly sure how or why.
At the time I was proud of the fact I had just completed all of my MCMAP training.  Long story short...I completed my green belt training and went on to get my brown belt as well.  Not as exciting now as it was then.  All my bruises and minor flesh wounds are a thing of the past.
I'm glad to be done with it.  I'm not really interested in a black belt.

Marine Corps Ninja Skills

I left on this deployment with the goal of increasing in the Marine Corps Marital Arts Program.  I finally got around to seeing to it.  I started out this venture with a gray belt.  (MCMAP belts tan-gray-green-brown-black)  I haven't done any MCMAP in over 2 years, when I got my gray belt in Iraq.  First things first...I got beat up more than I have in a long, long time.  I finally tested out for my green belt.
