A recruit of Bravo Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, climbs a rope during Confidence Course II at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, Dec. 15. Recruits were instructed to move with speed and intensity to ensure that the rest of the recruits got to try every obstacle. Today, all males recruited west of the Mississippi are trained at MCRD San Diego. The depot is responsible for training more than 16,000 recruits annually. Bravo Company is scheduled to graduate Feb. 12.
