As I understand it from them, if they want to train, the do so at their own expense and on their own time. Just how "common" it is with US Military folks, I am not quite sure. _________________________ "If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough."

Yeah, there isn't an MA that is common to all branches of the military. The Marine Corps does have it's own MA (USMC Martial Arts Program) that was developed from 10 different styles and broken down into four fighting disciplines. I wish they had this when I was in Marines. I've been trying to figure out a way to get someone to teach me since it was developed. _________________________ ~Tolyn~ www.tolynsworld.com

Ranger, Krav Maga National Training Center is currently training several units in the U.S. Army I believe out of Ft. Hood. I have heard from my military contacts and KMNTC that there is a potential deal in place that would make KM the ARMY'S current MA. FYI.... These are things that I have personally discussed with those who would know so I think that there is something in the works.
