We know there are also a great number of talented and competitive athletes in the Marine Corps, and this is a great way for them to get some great tips and insight on elite level competition”. It is also a rare occasion to have Amy, Duane and Shonny all in Hawaii at one time, as they are typically competing around the globe.
