Recruits of Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, sprint toward their opponent during pugil sticks at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, April 23. Recruits competed in three bouts. Each played the role of offense, defense and took part in a free for all. The offense and defense bouts were fought two-on-one, which posed high risk or a bigger challenge than the last matches. 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. Lima Company is scheduled to graduate from recruit training on June 19.
