I've looked all over the net for this info, hope someone here can help.
I have a few questions, 1. What type Hand to hand combat was taught to recruits during the vietnam war? 2.What FM would it have been? (I know it was before L.I.N.E.) 3. If someone says they boxed in the Marines and was the division champion, what does that mean? Would they have been a USMC boxer (as in trained as a boxer for the Marines) or would it just be a title given to someone who won alot of "smokers" against other divisons?
Just curious..I am a martial artist and have had these questions come up.
Thanks for your time!
