24 days into training. 65 days until graduation.
Today the matrix shows the recruits doing "Combat Conditioning Exercise." According to a group I'm following, they will also be working on MCMAP (Marine Corps Martial Arts Program). MCMAP was talked about in the article I posted yesterday where they interviewed people from Charlie Company.
According to a father that received a letter from his recruit, Platoon 1054 is doing well and looking forward to blousing their uniforms above their boots and undoing the top button on their uniform. Supposedly the recruits are getting plenty of apples, which should thrill Jeremiah. He LOVES apples...and there is no sarcasm there. He really does like apples. :-)
Found a video that shows the drills that Jeremiah does virtually daily. This Saturday should be a "competition" of sorts between the platoon to see which does the drill the best. I think they'll do this repeatedly to earn an award at graduation.

Next week is Swim Week and the end of Phase 1 of training. August 8th they should be moving over to WFTBN (Weapons and Field Training Battalion) Camp Pendleton for three weeks.
