Led by drill instructors and recruiters, these functions simulate parts of boot camp, including physical fitness tests, close order drills, obstacle course elements, and even introductory lessons in discipline and Marine Corps values. It’s where civilians begin their transformation, building the mindset, strength, and teamwork needed to earn the title United States Marine.
