A drill instructor of Kilo Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, rushes recruits to wagon wheel their gear into a foot locker during pick up at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, Oct. 23. The recruits are expected to be responsible and make sure they stay accountable of the gear they receive in the beginning of training. Today, all males recruited from west of the Mississippi are trained at MCRD San Diego. The depot is responsible for training more than 16,000 recruits annually. Kilo Company is scheduled to graduate Jan. 15.
