Welcome to the New Year, we are excited to be sharing it with you!
A big Ooh-Rah goes out to 1st Battalion Bravo Company of San Diego and 2nd Battalion
Fox Company of Parris Island, our newest Marines graduating January 6th!
For those of you who are just beginning your journey, we would like to WELCOME you
and extend our CONGRATULATIONS. You're on a new journey to becoming a Marine Parent.
The pride is indescribable, but you may feel you are in an unfamiliar world with
a whirlwind of emotions and never-ending questions.
If you've been looking for answers to your questions, we can help you.

The Chain of Command
Becoming a Marine Parent
The Chain of Command [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=qovdcsbab&et=1108995007293&s=60280&e=0013nrr-Abt70Kvr_io14sLt32xAZcuMhMwG1BpnP49Qm4ERufsYlEwgI73hS0q8YQ8mZZfrh0R-hT0qMoBWjxwSdRozJZRbMEbKy0a0KDPQ3fm3X9op54xAO7xZvFFMeJ7gFiVLH-xG_YkUtaCjAdWgg==]
Knowing, understanding and following the chain of command in the military is crucial.
The chain of command is the system that controls the happenings, tasks and logistics
of the military. The chain of command is also the tasking authority for subordinates.
The chain of command is what gives the ultimate authority to warriors to engage
during conflict. It is imperative to the success of our military that the chain
of command exercises the correct leadership and appropriate discipline in order
to assure success.
There are many occasions in your soon-to-be Marine's career that he or she will
not be available for you to converse with or ask questions. Those situations may
be during training, school, field exercises or deployment. For this reason, the
Marine Corps also implements a civilian chain of command for family members called
"Family Readiness" once the recruit has graduated from bootcamp.

Celebrate a Corps Tradition...

the Marine Corps' many traditions is the carrying of the challenge coin, rooted
in history dating back to World War I.
The most common story of the first challenge coins tells of a wealthy lieutenant
in the United States Army Air Corps, the predecessor of the Air Force. He had given
the men in his unit bronze medallions, and one young pilot wore his medallion in
a leather pouch around his neck. One day, following an emergency landing of his
aircraft behind enemy lines, the pilot was captured by the Germans, and his personal
identification was confiscated.
The pilot managed to escape the Germans by donning civilian attire, and he found
his way to a French outpost. But the French had seen many enemies masquerading
as civilians, and since they didn't recognize his American accent they planned to
execute him.

Stick to letters only. Resist sending packages unless your recruit has specifically
asked you to send something.
Though your recruit may move from one location for training to another during bootcamp,
you will always use the same mailing address for him/her (see the page at the link
below for exceptions).

Combat Conditioning program for recruits at the Marine Corps Recruit Depots serves
as an introduction to strenuous activity for many recruits. Recruits will conduct
Combat Conditioning exercises almost every other day during recruit training.
The program has as its goals not only success as measured by the Marine Corps Physical
Fitness Test, or PFT, but also those physical skills necessary to excel in a modern
military environment, and in combat.
The focus is on functional exercises, and uses a progressive method to build a strong
foundation in general fitness.

Health and Wealth to Religious Ministries
Recruits in Marine Corps bootcamp receive the best training possible.
With that said, recruits are very well cared for throughout the course of their
thirteen weeks on the Recruit Depot. From injury prevention and dental treatment
to recruit pay and the Thrift Savings Plan, every base is covered, including Religious
Ministries.
The Marine Corps' Sports Medicine Injury Prevention program is in place during recruit
training to ensure this rigorous training is completed with as few musculoskeletal
injuries as possible. Specialists in the fields of physical conditioning and injury
prevention are part of the recruit training staff.

spend a great deal of time in the classroom during recruit training and, during
weeks 10 and 11 of bootcamp, they must prove they have retained the abundance of
information they were taught.
Recruits must perform a Final Practical Application Test, as well as a Final Written
Academic Test.
The final practical application test is a series of test events where recruits are
required to demonstrate their knowledge and mastery of the subject. These areas
include: First Aid skills, Customs and Courtesies (like saluting or boarding a ship),
Marine Corps Uniform and rank identification, and weapons assembly and disassembly.
The final written academic test is second of two written tests recruits take during
their training.

Motivational Run & Family Day
About Bootcamp Graduation
Training Day-69 (Family Day) starts off with a motivational run, referred to as
the "MOT Run" throughout the Depot.
Motivational Run and Family Day [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=qovdcsbab&et=1108995007293&s=60280&e=0013nrr-Abt70IzTIl_Q5VR3O96Jg9LarCbfkOZntKUUm1iTT7Gs292ODnzaezo1hNvUe1pInZBY7jebU6-wDW4sCO1LU7ImlkP0XQXDmyvJs9fXvsdI_3e4g6lYuPIn6Sba9BXmB33aposIkVTVVdc6Q==]
All graduating recruits run a 4-mile course which passes by all four training battalions,
plus Support Battalion. At each battalion, selected recruits ring each of the Battalion
Bells as the rest of the Company runs by singing cadence, loudly signaling successful
completion of Recruit Training.
As recruits run to the cadence of their Drill Instructors, parents, family members
and friends line the streets and cheer as they try to find the face of their loved
one among the crowd of new Marines.
