On the Recruit Training Matrix (phase 1 is shown below) it also shows that Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) is scheduled. The recruits learn how to aid another Marine on the battle field if there is an injury using their IFK (Individual First Aid Kit). Of course there will be marching and more marching. :-)
It's unfortunate that on this day of Jeremiah's training, four Marines and a Navy recruiter were shot and killed in Chattanooga, TN. So sad for all the Marines and the recruits. Shock likely went through every military base and recruiting station in the USA. Immediate reaction was astonishment that our military members aren't allowed to carry weapons on base or their recruiting stations. The country is now up in arms about that fact and beginning to call for a change. It will be interesting to see what changes are made to the military that Jeremiah has joined.
