Recruits of Golf Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, battle through the rough terrain in search of their next geographical point during the land navigation course at Edson Range, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., March 31. During Field Week, or week seven of recruit training, recruits learned the basic fundamentals of combat, with topics ranging from combat formations to land navigation. The course is buried deep in the midst Camp Pendleton, covered with cacti, bushes and various wildlife. Recruits have four hours to find five check points. If they are incorrect in any point, they must retrace their steps and find their errors. Today, all male recruits recruited from recruiting stations 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 May 8.
