Yes folks, we are announcing this early, far enough in advance to maximize participation from other service branches and civilian sector. Meaty portion of 5 W's will remain same as last year's competition. Rough dates are first two full weeks in February, solid dates posted Dec 2013 timeframe. One big change will be civilians will be allowed to participate in entire match program (2 weeks) or attend ONLY 2-day EIC portion for either rifle/pistol or both.
No need to inquire about signing up now, that information will be passed later on. More to follow...

As a civilian, how much ammo for both rifle and pistol will you need? Also what are the restrictions on the firearms we can use as civilians for the training and competition?

You will be issued rack grade military weapons and you will get all the ammo you need to complete the scheduled courses of fire. This event is USMC sponsored. All participants are on equal footing when it comes to equipment.

I am definitely looking forward to participating in this again. I had a blast last year.

Anyone planning on attending this event as a civilian? I'm really thinking about doing this, already marked myself off for the the two weeks.

Wish I could attend the classes, but 2 weeks is a long time away from work.

I'm in the same boat. I just found out about EIC and Distinguished, but there's no way in hell I can take two weeks away from the boat. Is that how all EIC competitions are for military; with the two week school requirement?

Absolutely not. Pistol EIC match consist of firing 30 rounds and usually take less than hour to conduct per relay. An EIC rifle match is much longer since its fired from 200, 300 and 600 yards and will take between 3-5 hours to conduct with multiple pit changes .
PACDIV is a USMC specific shooting event geared toward Marines stationed aboard Hawaii. Participation by other branches, LE and civilian sector is encouraged, but not a show stopper. Without having to type up a novel, below is what is presented in two-week shooting match culminating with 2-day EIC match (shoot EIC course of fire twice):
-2 days of classroom instructions in basic and advance marksmanship shooting technique presented by member of Marine Corps Shooting Team based out of Quantico, VA
-4 days of live fire practice
-2 days of individual match (EIC match; 1 per day)
-1 day of "TEAM match" (4 shooters from same unit firing EIC course once over, for combined score)
Total of 9 days executed in two weeks. AD service members MUST attend entire 2-week training package. *Civilians are encouraged to attend entire training package; HOWEVER, we realize this is unrealistic SO at bare min, they must attend classroom instruction days followed by both days of EIC match.

So far, this year's PacDiv Matches is really awesome (for a lack of a better word) and very informative.
Next week is the actual matches, so good luck to all other competitors and hopefully I don't screw up too bad.
