Martin was interested in the precision involved. Training began with borrowed eight-pound rifles. The weight of this equipment ~~so soon~~ proved quite a problem until Navy personnel from Ship 67 [[NAVY CLUB (THE)]] and its owners [[GINTER, Donna\|Donna GINTER]] and her husband Joe ~~who~~ bought three-pound wooden rifles. The help continued with supplies of overseas caps and the replacement of fringe and red sequin-trimmed uniforms with new uniforms fashioned along military lines with short pleated skirts. All the girls, drawn from public and private school, had been students of Mrs. Martin for baton twirling and were formerly members of a majorette corps. The routines included a rifle maneuver called the Marine 16-Count, a 13-Count and a cross-over while marching. Exhibitions ~~would start~~ with rifles, continuing with batons, and end with flags.
