Recruits of Fox Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion,

Recruits of Fox Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, execute leg sweeps during a Marine Corps Martial Arts Program session at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, Nov. 20. During the event, recruits were taught step-by-step how to properly execute the techniques and perform different breakfalls to refrain from injuring themselves. Earning a tan belt comes after recruits complete the basic stage of MCMAP in recruit training, and this allows the recruits to work to receive a black belt later on in their Marine Corps careers. Today, all males recruited west of the Mississippi are trained at MCRD San Diego. The depot is responsible for training more than 16,000 recruits annually. Fox Company is scheduled to graduate Jan. 29.
