Recruits of Golf Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion,

Recruits of Golf Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, wait for their senior drill instructor to check their alignment during a series commander inspection at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, Dec. 7. Being properly aligned to the recruit to their right is important for the recruits to get used to because alignment is something drill instructors look at during drill. This is the second of four inspections recruits experience during recruit training. 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. Golf Company is scheduled to graduate Jan. 8.
