Recruits spent one week learning and practicing the fundamentals of marksmanship, ensuring they are confident for the live-fire qualification. Once the recruits become familiar with the fundamentals, they are expected to apply them through snapping in and at the Indoor Simulated Marksmanship Trainer. 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. Charlie Company is scheduled to graduate June 5.
