OBAMA NAMES RETIRED MARINE COMMANDANT AS WHITE HOUSE SECURITY ADVISER









Retired Marine General James Jones was named today as the White House security adviser.

Jones is credited with starting the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program in the Marine Corps. This system, known by Marines as Mick-Map, combines some non-lethal techniques with some of the usual Marine Corps lethal hand to hand combat techniques and encompasses a belt ranking system as found in many martial arts.

The bottom photo is of a Marine (in black t-shirt) instructing a couple of Navy Seabees in the proper MCMAP techniques. The Marine's belt with the red stripe indicates that he is a Black Belt and is Instructor Trainer Qualified.
