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.

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. - 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.
