I agree with timely change, but I suspect the last few years of changes have been less than timely and more political/ideological. I know quite a few Marines in their fifties, sixties, even a few in their eighties. The stories they tell me don't resemble what I see today. So, "old", or " crusty " to me translate into experienced in reality on the job.

I remember "snapping in" for a week without firing a round at the range. We qualified out to 900 meters with iron sights. The Marine Corps was always based on marksmanship and the tenet that every man is a basic infantryman from the Commandant right down to the lowliest private. Chesty must be rolling in his grave!

this is sad to hear but it doesn't surprise me.
when my Dad went to the island in 75 he was a top shot, so much so the senior DI got him to qualify for some of the other recruits who couldn't do it. some folks just can't shoot worth a sh#t no matter how much training you give them.

I'd heard a few years ago from a jarhead who told me they weren't being trained on irons anymore.
Part of the Corps tradition has died.
