*Never Quit*

Remember this when you complain about swim Qual - Never try to tell a Marine they can’t accomplish something.

After volunteering for the course in 2014, Marine Corps Staff Sargent Adam Jacks was the first amputee to graduate from the Marine Combat Instructor of Water Survival (MCIWS) course.

Jacks lost most of his right leg while serving in Afghanistan and, after months of evaluations, returned to active duty.

After speaking with the course’s lead instructor, Gunnery Sgt. Joseph Marshall, Jacks volunteered for the three week course and worked with Marshall to develop a buoyant prosthetic leg for swimming. Course graduates, including Jacks, swam a total of 59 miles. They did not make the course any easier to accommodate him.
