"What You Need To Know
Any marine or sailor with a boxing background can participate in the MACE program
Half the team is elite open class, the rest are novice boxers
The North Carolina local boxing council was the first to open in the U.S. since the COVID-19 shutdown
Opening up has allowed the boxers to participate in four events up to this point."

Lots of great athletes in the Marine Corps. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it, the Marine Corps will not generally cut orders for Marines to participate full time in intermural athletics. If you want to participate, you do it on your own time. Not always so easy depending on work schedules. Only the very committed show up. Some commands may cut their Marines slack to participate and take time off work to participate in events, bit no guarantee. It is a hard row to hoe.
