There will be a cold bar option with yogurt, granola and fresh fruit in the morning and a salad bar for lunch and dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs you go through the line it\u2019s going to be the green stuff,\u201d Col. Stephen Armes, the director of the Force Fitness Division told Marine Corps Times in an interview. \u201cAll the healthy stuff is going to be up front.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new chow halls are going to resemble college athletic dining facilities with fresh greens and an assortment of healthy proteins, according to Armes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But unhealthy food is not disappearing, the Corps just plans to make it harder for you to choose that option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSometimes you just need a cheeseburger, there\u2019s nothing wrong with that,\u201d Armes said. But, a Marine is \u201cgoing to have to fight to get down to that cheeseburger.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Corps is also on the verge of hiring new athletic trainers separate from the nearly 600<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2016\/11\/04\/the-marines-new-fitness-leaders-have-a-plan-to-get-you-lean-mean\/\" target=_blank> Force Fitness Instructors<\/a> already fielded across the Marines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new trainers will be civilian contractors with five years of division one collegiate or professional level experience, according to Armes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Corps is hiring the first 10 trainers in six weeks, with 33 slated for fiscal year 2019 and a total of about 130 by FY 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal according to Armes, is to get more than one athletic trainer to every regiment and group in the Corps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new trainers will help track and reduce injuries across the force. Marines will be able to consult with the trainers on a number of fitness issues to include injuries. If a Marine\u2019s back is tight he can go to the trainer to get help, Armes explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe idea is to compliment Navy medicine\u201d but not replace it, Armes added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Corps has already succesfully experimented with athletic trainers at the recruit depots and the School of Infantry dating back to 2003.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there were none in the operational forces, according to Armes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the Corps hires new trainers and revamps its dining facilities the Marines are also experimenting with new performance nutrition packs at Officer Candidates School aboard Quantico, Virginia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new nutrition packs are high in carbohydrates and include food like fruit and granola.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea is to use the food packs to supplement the void between evening chow and morning breakfast and replace lost glycogen, which fuels muscle production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new nutrition packs are at the recruit depots now as well, and Marines at recruit training are also getting supplemental cliff bars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marines will have to fight to get to a
