Marines in your unit will be brown and black belt instructors.

It will depend on your unit.
There's a shortage of MCMAP instructors, and units get prioritized. Also, you may find yourself in a low-priority unit that has a bunch of MCMAP gurus just randomly, or you may be in a unit that doesn't have any.
In general, combat arms units will have available instructors, while support, air wing, and non-deployable units are more of a toss-up.

It's probably the opposite.

mcmap is GAY. Yes I want to learn glorified tae kwon dill doe and make my enemy tap out......... for you youngsters we did L.I.N.E (linear infighting nerual override engagement) There were 12 lines I think all together( i trained up to 8) the **** was NO JOKE, you want to learn to kill someone learn line. Unlike mcmap which is geared more to your opponent standing still and perfect scenarios, Line taught you to royally murder someone and there unborn children in an imperfect situation. To this day I know LINE without even thinking( we wont mention the bar fight my wife and I got in lol, If you want to know pm me, put it this way LINE kicked in 1 guy ended up with a broken arm at the elbow, one a dislocated patella before about 5 bouncers jumped on me,ahhh good times!) Anyway, LINE is the ****, save mcmap and its carnival tricks for after school karate practice

Why did they stop teaching LINE, and where do you find instructors for it? Sounds like my "cup of tea."

Line was much better than MCMAP, either way no matter what you learn you need to compliment it with another MA. They unfortunately got rid of Line and created MCMAP since the Marines have taken on more of a peace keeping force/ Police... So the stalk and kill is now saved for Special Forces. If you study another MA that is field combat suitable then you can start to make a nitch for yourself within your unit. Even though MCMAP sucks, you can find a way to make if work for you to become proficient in a worthy MA near the base.
