All Hands...Marine Corps Martial Arts Program News...

I know, I know...this isn't a military blog but Colonel Joe is the toughest son of a bitch on the face of god's green earth, and when he "asks", those with even a modicum of common sense respond. They don't call the man CYBORG for nothing. That aside, I'll of course be attending on and off as a spectator and overall ass kicker as needed.

If Lisa lets me go.

Instructor Trainers, Instructors, and Commanders:

Happy belated Holidays-the MACE Marines hope everyone had a healthy and enjoyable time off with their loved ones.
As we kick off the New Year I’d like to reiterate to please share these Newsletters with all Marines, especially other I’s, IT’s, and Commanders. These Newsletters are designed to keep all Marines up to date with changes and at the same time keeping MCMAP Marines in contact with the MACE. If you’ve moved to a new billet, please also send us your new email address so we can keep you connected.

The schedule for the MAIT courses this year is still solid:
The first seven-week MAIT course starts on 13 Feb and graduates on 31 Mar;
The first five-week MAIT course for black belt I’s only starts on 24 Apr and graduates on 26 May;
The second seven-week MAIT course starts on 12 June and graduates on 28 July;
The second five-week MAIT course for black belt I’s only starts on 14 Aug and graduates on 15 Sep.
Please help get the word out to ALL Marines qualified to attend. If your command needs extra quotas, please get those requests into the MACE ASAP so we can assist your command accordingly.

If you desire to augment any of the upcoming courses given at the MACE, contact MGySgt Franklin at the numbers provided below.

And since the Top doesn't need troll mail, I of course will forward any requests to him.
