Every Marine a rifleman?

Does that mean even the Marine aviators can shoot?

Update:

Thanks for all the answers. I got interested because I've been watching The Pacific miniseries.

    The Marine aviators are mostly officers, but basically yes!

    I am sure they have some weapons training, but probably a lot less than the regular Marine!

    Every enlisted Marine is first & foremost a "grunt", then any additional training they receive for their job skill.

    Yes. Every Marine is trained how to shoot, regardless of MOS.

    The Marine Corps has the highest standards for marksmanship. Even a cook is a good marksman.

    Yes every marine undergoes a full infantry training regimen, not just basic training like the army and navy.
