No military in the world sees more action in more places than the United States Marine Corps. The average marine has been in at least two combat engagements per year since 1775. As a result, the Marine Corps' close combat program has been incorporating techniques from the various countries they've killed people in, culminating in the "Marine Corps Martial Arts Program," or "MCMAP." The modern program also teaches the use of improvised weapons, bayonets, and parts of the gun other than the bullets.
Before MCMAP came along, the marines had something called the LINE System (Linear Infighting Neural Override Engagement) which was invented in the 1980s. MCMAP was formed in 2001 because marines were increasingly being used in situations that didn't require them to kill their opponents, and that was the only thing LINE was good for. Now, when you use a MCMAP move on somebody, each move typically has the option to utterly destroy whatever body part you have in your hands or just put it in excruciating pain...or both, thus leading to a kinder, friendlier Marine Corps that only sometimes kills you.

Get the MCMAP mug.MCMAP stands for Marine Corps Martial Arts Program.
First introduced in 2001 to replace the LINE combat system, MCMAP (pronounced "McMap")is a custom combination of other martial arts disciplines. Unlike LINE, which trained soldiers primarily to kill, MCMAP is a more versatile system which teaches soldiers how to most effectively subdue enemies, not necessarily kill them. This key difference has made MCMAP a useful tool for martial law enforcement and other situations in which non lethal techniques are often desirable.
MCMAP is taught to all new Marine recruits, who exit boot camp with the lowest of the five obtainable belts. From lowest to highest rank, the belts are tan, grey, green, brown and black. These unconventional colors were chosen because they do not clash with Marines' camouflage uniforms.
After they have complete basic training and earned their first belt, Marines are eligible to earn higher belts if they log enough instruction hours and are of a high enough rank.

Jimmy took karate classes as a kid, and Timmy knows judo, but Johnny joined the Marine Corps, so he knows MCMAP, which is more applicable to real-world situations.

20th and early 21st centuries. Such houses
are characterized by steep roofs of complex design, theatrical entrances, lack of stylistic integrity and backsides which are
notably less fussy than their fronts. They are often placed closely together to maximize the developer's profits and appeal to people who value perceived social status over actual, physical, economic or historic value.

Get the McMansion mug.MineCraft Awesome Parodys (mcap steve) is a YouTuber and a satirical musical artist. His style is making parodies of songs, and remaking the lyrics so they are Minecraft themed. He also makes Minecraft lets plays in a series called Minecraft Hardcore. His voice is like the voice of god’s, if that God sounded like a microphone was up his throat. Widely hailed as one of the greatest lyricists of our generation, he continues to make music with very meaningful lyrics such as “I don’t know what to mine, I’ll mine this anyway.” Despite being swindled out of a Grammy due to academy corruption, this does not stop him– he continues to make new music constantly, to the benefit of the public and the world.
