| MCRD San Diego |
Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego is one of two
recruit-training bases in the United States. It is home to the Marine
Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard personnel, though the depot in San Diego has
just 388 acres. MCCS supports all active duty personnel, their family
members, reservists, and retired military personnel. Marine Corps Recruit
Depot (MCRD) San Diego is one of the birthplaces of basically trained
Marines. It is here where America's young men are transformed into
Marines. Marines are forged in a furnace of shared hardship and tough
training. This shared, intense experience creates bonds of comradeship and
standards of conduct so strong that Marines will let nothing stand in
their way. |
