Recruits of Golf Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, stop at the half-way point during the resupply hike at Edson Range, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., April 28. During the stop, drill instructors conducted headcounts while recruits fixed their gear and hydrated. As the hike continued, the recruits tested their stamina and endurance by navigating the loose dirt and hills while trying to stay together as a group. Along with the ammunition cans, recruits carried a load bearing vest, their M16-A4 Service Rifle, their day packs and two canteens full of water. Today, all male recruits recruited from recruiting stations west of the Mississippi are trained at MCRD San Diego. The depot is responsible for training approximately 16,000 recruits annually. Golf Company is scheduled to graduate May 8.
