Recruit Bryson Hatch, Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, preforms a fireman’s carry during the Initial Combat Fitness Test at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, July 15. The maneuver under fire portion of the test is a course that covers 75 yards, which requires recruits to perform exercises such as sprints, ammunition can carries, fireman’s carry and throwing a simulated grenade at a marked target. Recruits were timed as they ran through the course and needed to finish it in less than 2 minutes and 14 seconds to receive 100 points. Hatch is a native of Burlington, Kan., and was recruited out of Recruiting Station Kansas City. Today, all males recruited from west of the Mississippi are trained at MCRD San Diego. The depot is responsible for training more than 16,000 recruits annually. Kilo Company is scheduled to graduate Sept. 18.
