Capt. Kellie Mix (left), Staff Sgt. Dary Selgran, and other Marine Corps Instructors of Water Survival demonstrate amphibious rescue techniques to athletes of the Royals Swimming Team at the Queens University of Charlotte, for Marine Corps water survival training during United States Marine Corps’ 2018 Marine Week in Charlotte, North Carolina, September 6, 2018. Marine Corps water survival training’s purpose is to reduce fear, raise self-confidence, and develop Marines with the ability to survive in water. Women are currently serving in 82% of Marine Corps occupational specialties with 283 female Marines currently assigned to previously restricted units and 92 in previously restricted specialties. Recruiting female Marines allows the Corps to maintain rigorous aptitude and physical standards, ensuring the Marine Corps remains the dominant fighting force the nations expects. The Royals Swimming men and women’s teams have won first place in Division II National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championships for the past four years. The Marine Corps Recruiting Command planned unique engagements to interact with important components of the Charlotte population, looking to share its message of opportunity with a diverse audience of people who in many cases had little previous exposure to the Corps’ culture.
