    Marines, what is the significance of gifting a K-bar?

    My son reports to USNA on Tuesday morning for class of 2024. All summer, he has been shooting a couple of days a week with the husband of a close work friend. My friend's husband met Ryan the day before his BGO interview and they hit it off immediately. He was a MARSOC sniper and does not have...

    NASS Question---is the MRE right before CFA routine, or a fluke?

    DS texted a photo of his MRE for the meal right before the CFA Sunday at this week's NASS session. He knew they have MRE at one meal as part of the NASS experience, but it seemed odd timing to do that right before CFA? We wondered if this was intentional "stress experience" because they had...
