Meet Maj. Bryan Bittner “I take great pride in being able to say that I’m a part of the Reserve Marksmanship Team Unit. Unlike other schools, our instructors have volunteered to be here. They have gone above and beyond. You will find no school that has instructors that have 20 years of teaching the same thing in the Marine Corps. It’s not possible, you have to rotate. But with us, we are a unique entity. You can work for a [reserve] unit, while you can still work for us, and that keeps our continuity. It grows our knowledge base; it never gets lost.” -Maj. Bryan Bittner, commanding officer, Reserve Marksmanship Team Unit (U.S. Marine Corps video by Cpl. Joshua Pinkney)
