Hahaha. It CAN be done, but it won't happen. There's no way in hell my unit will allow me to take an M9 from Kaneohe to Koko Head in a POV (or even a guvvie).

^^^You might want to check. I wouldn't be surprised if the Marines would be willing to support one of theirs trying to improve their marksmanship...............especially since most servicemen are usually pretty bad with handguns.  Not saying that's the case with you, but I see it a lot with the guys shooting at Kokohead and Schofield.

MARINE CORPS ORDER P1700.29
From: Commandant of the Marine Corps
To: Distribution List
Subj: MARINE CORPS SEMPER FIT PROGRAM MANUAL

4015. RECREATIONAL SHOOTING

1. Where facilities permit, commanding officers should encourage recreational rifle, pistol, and shotgun shooting. Such shooting
stimulates interest, affords Marines the opportunity to maintain and improve their proficiency in a vital military skill, and furthers the
Marine Corps Competition-in-Arms Program.

2. Intramural competition and supervised individual firing conducted by qualified instructors (Marine Corps Primary Marksmanship Instructor (PMI),
Marine Corps Rifle/Pistol Range Coaches School, NRA certified instructor, Department of Civilian Marksmanship) and coaches is authorized and
encouraged. Achievement awards may be presented in these events.

3. Per reference (r), off-duty enlisted personnel serving in the above positions may be paid with NAF. Reference (u) authorizes qualified staff
noncommissioned officers to act as range officers to conduct and supervise recreational and intramural shooting.

4. Marine Corps Supply System Firearms and Ammunition. Firearms, other than government-owned standard firearms, may be purchased for recreation
program use (not for resale), with APF or NAF. Pistols or other Government-owned standard firearms are available in the Marine Corps
supply system and may be furnished for recreational purposes on loan. The provisions of reference (v) are applicable to all weapons used in the
recreation program. Service ammunition may be issued from Marine Corps stocks for recreational rifle and pistol shooting within allowances set
forth in reference (w).

5. A telephone/radio with direct access to the Military Police and local
medical facility shall be on site.

MARINE CORPS ORDER 3591.2J W/CH 1
From: Commandant of the Marine Corps
To: Distribution List
Subj: Small Arms Marksmanship Competition
3. Information
a. Objectives
(1) To enhance the marksmanship proficiency and combat readiness of the Marine Corps by:

 (a) Developing and maintaining a population base of Marines with high skills in rifle and pistol marksmanship to serve as marksmanship instructors, scout snipers, coaches and range operation personnel.

(b) Stimulating interest and desire on the part of the individual Marine for self-improvement of skill and confidence with the rifle and pistol.

(2) To gain and maintain a Marine Corps ability to compete and win, as teams and individuals, in interservice and national matches and to provide competitors for United States teams in international matches.
(3) To establish a vehicle for the development and exchange of ideas resulting in improvements to equipment and shooting techniques.

b. Competitive marksmanship programs within the Marine Corps provide for competition at all levels and should, in all cases, be designed to support the marksmanship training program established by  reference (b). Competition motivates Marines and provides an incentive to excel in the critical combat skill of small arms marksmanship. Commanders will encourage and promote competitions within and between commands. These latter events will be conducted through a dynamic Local Match Competition Program and the Competition-in-Arms Program, both of which are established by this Order. These programs also serve as intermediate steps in the development of an individual Marine’s ability to serve as a member of the Marine Corps shooting teams and, ultimately, as a participant in interservice, national, and international shooting events.

c. The Local Match Competition Program provides a means whereby commanding officers may establish local teams for competitions with other commands and in civilian matches. In addition to the training benefits derived from such participation by individual members of a command, it enables the commander to identify those Marines who possess above-average interest and skills in marksmanship. Since motivation and skill in the subject area are key characteristics of the dedicated, productive instructor, those Marines should provide a highly qualified nucleus around which the command’s marksmanship training program can be structured. In addition, through this program, individuals with exceptional
skills as marksmen can be identified and considered for training as scout snipers.

Some pics and match scores from the EIC. Hawaii Army National Guard sent 5 shooters to compete. There were no other military competitors.
