Recruits from India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, climb a rope wall during Confidence Course II at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, April 18. Many of the obstacles test the recruits’ confidence and mental strength in overcoming the challenges before them. Annually, more than 17,000 males recruited from the Western Recruiting Region are trained at MCRD San Diego. India Company is scheduled to graduate June 16.
