A drill instructor with Delta Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, instructs a recruit to respond during a senior drill instructor inspection at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, March 29. The inspections can be stressful and recruits tend to forget the answers to the knowledge questions. Recruits reinforce knowledge with their drill instructors on a daily basis to help them remember important facts. Annually, more than 17,000 males recruited from the Western Recruiting Region are trained at MCRD San Diego. Delta Company is scheduled to graduate June 1.
