Theses statment. History. Supporting detail #1. Marine Corps Decade Timeline. Gregory Boyington earned both a Medal of Honor and the Navy Cross for his extraordinary heroism as a WWII Marine pilot and leader of the Black Sheep Squadron.
While his Medal of Honor Citation was awarded by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in March 1944, he was not decorated until October 5, 1945, due to his captivity by the Japanese. Boyington is best known for flying the Vought F4U Corsair in squadron VMF-214. During his first tour, he shot down 14 enemy fighter planes in 32 days. With intense activity in the Russell Islands-New Georgia areas, Boyington tallied his downed Japanese plane total almost daily. He tied the American record of 26 downed planes on January 3, 1944, over Rabaul, but became mixed in a general melee of diving, swooping planes and went missing, ultimately spending the rest of the war, some 20 months, in Japanese prison camps.

Week 1: Grass Week: During Grass Week, recruits learn the basics of safety and Marine Corps marksmanship. They practice marksmanship principles without firing ammunition while sitting, kneeling, standing and lying down. Marksmanship instructors teach recruits that the principle difference between pulling a trigger and being a rifleman is having complete control over their rifle and their body. Week 2: Firing Week: During Firing Week, recruits conduct live fire exercises, learning to fire from any position and at ranges of 200, 300 and 500 yards.
Recruits build accuracy by beginning with 50 rounds of slow fire, one shot at a time, and progressing to rapid fire with 10 shots in a row. On qualification day, recruits strive for their highest score out of 250 points on the Field Fire portion and the Known Distance course. Supporting detail #2. MCRD Parris Island. To become a marine.
