A drill instructor from Instructional Training Company, Support Battalion, demonstrates the proper way to a lead hand punch during a Marine Corps Martial Arts Program session at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, April 24. One of the purposes of learning MCMAP is to teach recruits basic offensive and defensive techniques, and this gives them the opportunity to master the moves in preparation for the MCMAP test later in training. Annually, more than 17,000 males recruited form the Western Recruiting Region are trained aboard MCRD San Diego. Lima Company is scheduled to graduate July 12.
