CFT

#CC0000

Recruits of Delta Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, run their 880-meter sprint during the combat fitness test at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, March 10. The first event of the CFT began with recruits running the 880-yard timed run. Wearing combat boots makes the sprint around the track difficult for some recruits. The purpose of the run is to simulate moving quickly through a combat situation. In order to gain maximum points on this event, recruits must complete the run in 2 minutes and 45 seconds or less. Annually, more than 17,000 males recruited from the Western Recruiting Region are trained at MCRD San Diego. Delta Company is scheduled to graduate April 1.
