A recruit of Fox Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, executes a rear-hand choke during a Marine Corps Martial Arts Program session at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, Nov. 30. Recruits learned the moves step-by-step before trying the technique on their partners. One of the purposes of MCMAP is to teach recruits how to defeat the enemy using various techniques. 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. Fox Company is scheduled to graduate Jan. 29.
