History of the Marine Corps Rifleman Tradition
Since its founding on November 10, 1775, the U.S. Marine Corps has forged a legacy of marksmanship excellence. Every Marine is a rifleman, a ethos instilled through rigorous training by Drill Instructors at recruit depots like Parris Island and San Diego. From the Revolutionary War to the Global War on Terror, Marines have honed their skills with rifles like the M1 Garand and M16, earning a reputation for precision and lethality. The “University of Rifleman” nickname celebrates this training as a higher calling, rivaling any college degree. This t-shirt honors the grit and discipline of those who graduate as Marine riflemen.

Gear up to salute Marine grit with the University of Rifleman Est. 1775 T-Shirt. Showcasing a Drill Instructor forging a recruit into a rifleman, this tee celebrates the Corps’ marksmanship legacy over any college degree. Whether you’re a Marine, veteran, or patriot, this shirt is your diploma of honor and pride.
