Green Belt School

Lisa was selected from her shop to start Green Belt School. This is the next MCMAP level after the Tan and Grey belt levels. It is one of the requirements for Corporal.

MCMAP
The Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP, pronounced /ˈmɪkmæp/) is a combat system developed by the United States Marine Corps to combine existing and new hand-to-hand and close quarters combat (CQC) techniques with morale and team-building functions and instruction in what the Marine Corps calls the "Warrior Ethos".[1] The program, which began in 2001, trains Marines (and U.S. Navypersonnel attached to Marine Units) in unarmed combat, edged weapons, weapons of opportunity, and rifle and bayonet techniques. It also stresses mental and character development, including the responsible use of force, leadership, and teamwork. The MCMAP has several nicknames, including semper fu (a play on the Marine Corps motto semper fi and kung fu)
