A recruit of Mike Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, conduct knee strikes during a Marine Corps Martial Arts Program Test at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, March 23. One of the first things recruits learn during MCMAP is the basic warrior stance, which serves as the position from which each technique begins. Annually, more than 17,000 males recruited from the Western Recruiting Region are trained at MCRD San Diego. Mike Company is scheduled to graduate April 15.
