Retired U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col. Dustin Kosar (left) poses for a photo with his students after coaching riding and stopping techniques to improve overall riding performance on Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, on an unknown date in 2025. Kosar's motorcycle coaching passion began when one of his Marines nearly lost his life for improper handling of his motorcycle, leaving him permanently impaired for the rest of his life; the Marine was only 22 years' old when he crashed his motorcycle. Since then, Kosar coached Marines through motorcycle training programs offered in the Marine Corps units he was stationed at. He retired out of MCB Quantico and continues to coach Marines on safe handling of motorcycles on base through the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. “My passion right now is keeping Marines alive to enjoy the next ride,” Kosar stated.

U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Tylerruben Salas, small arms repair technician for Marine Corps Base Camp Blaz, conducts rifle, pre-fire inspections before shooting on Marine Corps Base Camp Blaz, Guam, Sept. 25, 2023. The Marine Corps’ Program Manager for Training Systems will conduct target calibration from Sept. 25 to Oct. 27 and testing from Dec. 4-15. Two of four ranges at the Live Fire Training Range Complex will be equipped with new technology that provide more efficient and effective combat marksmanship training to support combat readiness. The live-fire location of miss and hit or LOMAH technology, replaces the human element of observing and marking targets. The calibration and testing are to ensure that the LOMAH system is working properly. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Garrett Gillespie) - U.S. Marine Corps Cpl.
