Marines and coaches stand at attention for a promotion ceremony during their visit to the National Museum of the Marine Corps as part of the 2017 Coaches Workshop, in Dumfries, Va., May 20. Thirty-five coaches travelled from across the U.S. to the Quantico area to learn about the Marine Corps' officer programs, how it vets candidates for Officer Candidates School, trains officers and develops its officer corps. The coaches received certificates for their attendance at the NMMC, which serves as a small token of appreciation for the coaches taking time out of their schedules to come aboard MCB Quantico to learn about the Corps.
