T-2 (July 15)


Today was T-2 on the Matrix.
The recruits went for a 1.5 mile formation run this morning. They were also learning customs and courtesies of the Marine Corps (rank structure, saluting, uniform types). If you are interested in learning them too, check out this page: http://www.marines.mil/Marines/Ranks.aspx
They will also start to learn some hand to hand combat techniques that are part of their MCMAP or Marine Corps Martial Arts Program training.
Form letters are coming supposedly.  If it's delayed his recruiter will be able to tell me his address after next week. Hopefully after that we will get some "real" letters.  :-)
There are 300-600 new recruits arriving at MCRD every week and 300-600 Marines leaving each week, add in recruits going to Camp Pendleton for Phase 2 and it is nothing short of a miracle that letters are received!!
