Competition shooting in the military?! Inconceivable!

David Hineline:
She wis assigned at the Pentagon now and for some secret reason as a parent I am not privy to most of the time she is not allowed to be in military uniform. Also for some reason Pentagon Marines do not have to rifle qualify, they just get their last qualification credited to them.  She has shot expert since boot camp.

In all my 400+ or so CHP students, the Very Best Pistol Shot of All was a Woman Marine LtCol named Erica.

I once put on this private CHP class for USMC Field Grade Officers.  Maybe a dozen or so.

During range qualification, Col. Erica put all 30 shots into a single hole about half the size of her small fist.   Then apologized for shooting so badly.

All the Other Highly Competitive Male USMC Officers were walking around with their heads down, kicking the dirt, and uttering muted curses.
==================================
Regarding the No-Uniform/Wear Civvies bit.............It's probably that Obama is eliminating uniforms for the military.
