Recruits are tested on their knowledge of Marine Corps history and other subjects duringthe Comprehensive Exam on Training Day 55.history31allows them to see artifacts and imaginehow history actually unfolded, giving themgreater insight on the events of the past.Instead of listening to an instructor read apower point, they get to hear more detailedstories from the museum docents, according to Recruit Dillon Adams, Platoon 3225,Co. K, 3rd RTBn.The museum docents are veterans whovolunteer their time to share history knowledge. Some have served in past wars andshare their stories and experiences with therecruits.“It’s really motivating to know that themen that are telling us the stories are veterans,” said Adams. “It’s an honor to be learning about the history and the legacy of theMarine Corps from them.”MCMAP31new complex techniques and greaterchallenges.While a big part of MCMAP is learning the proper fighting and self-defensetechniques, there is more to it thanthat.“In order to be a proficient warfighter you must exemplify the mental,physical and character disciplines,”said Sgt. Erik Covington, Chief MartialArts Instructor Trainer, InstructionalTraining Company, Support Battalion.values31iterate the importance and try to instill thevalues in them.”Recruits are taught two types of courage. The first is moral courage, which isdefined as having the inner strength tostand up for what is right and to acceptblame when something is your fault.The second is physical courage, which isdefined as the ability to continue to function effectively when there is physicaldanger present.Recruits are constantly confronted withthese challenges on a daily basis, whetherit be from a physical training event orinteracting with Marines of higher rank.“Courage helps us establish disciplineand confidence when dealing with some-Even though the docents only spend twohours with recruits, they take great pride inthe history of the Marine Corps and UnitedStates and hope that they can leave a lastingimpression.“We try to peak their curiosity and hopefully they’ll come back and take some moretime learning and researching subjects thatare interesting to them. The Marine Corpshas a very long, colorful, and proud historythat should be known,” said Dingerson.Some recruits arrive at the Depot witha good understanding of the Corps’ history and some arrive with no prior knowledge, however after enduring nearly threemonths at recruit training they gain a senseof pride.“The only history I knew about theMarine Corps before coming to recruittraining was the birthday,” said Adams.“Now I’m very emotionally attached.Although I’m not a Marine yet, I feel likeI’m already a part of the Marine Corpsbecause I share the same sense of pride, Iwant to learn everything and I want to be agood Marine.”Like Adams, Recruit Marcos Bocanegra,Plt. 3225, Co. K, 3rd RTBn., not only learnednew things, he also found a renewed driveto finish training.“As I walked through the museumand looked at everything that happenedthroughout history, I became inspired,”said Bocanegra. “I found new motivationto help me through the Crucible. When Ifeel like giving up, I’ll remind myself aboutthe day I spent in the museum, everything Ilearned and all those who came before me.No matter how tough it gets, I can’t quit. Ijust have to keep my head up.”“We teach them the mental and character disciplines through tie-ins. Tieins are guided discussions on varioussubjects that help recruits understandthat in order to win a fight, you have tobe prepared mentally as well as physically.”Along with the techniques andtie-ins, ITC instructors incorporateWarrior Studies to instill pride andmotivation.Warrior Studies are importantbecause it teaches recruits history andshows them that their situation is notunique. There are Marines that havebeen through the same circumstances,if not worse, and have prevailed. Warrior Studies prove to recruits that theycan overcome adversity, according toCovington.For the recruits of Co. I, this is onlythe beginning of their MCMAP training. They will continue to learn newtan belt syllabus techniques and will betested individually by instructors of ITCon Training Day 50. They must pass thetest in order to earn their tan belt andcontinue on with training.one of higher authority. It gives us the ability to speak with confidence,” said RecruitDaniel Johnson Jr., guide, Plt. 1075, Co.D, 1st RTBn. “We also utilize courage tocorrect other recruits or use it to push onwhen our mind and body is exhausted andtelling us to stop.”Making tough decisions is an issue everyleader will run into. Marine Corps leadershave an even greater burden because theirdecisions in combat have life or death consequences. Having the courage and confidence to make these decisions and in aquick manner is an invaluable asset.“Courage will teach recruits to takecharge and make decisions; hopefully theright ones,” said Urbany. “In combat itwill give them the motivation, inspiration,and ability to make a quick decision whiletaking charge of Marines, which in turnwill make them a better leader.”Developing the mental, moral, andphysical strengths of recruit’s core valuesis just as important as developing theirphysical training, marksmanship, and discipline. The courageous efforts of Marinesin the past have made the Marines of thepresent stand out. It is something manyMarines take pride in as they strive tomaintain the tremendous reputationviewed by others.“As a Marine we hold ourselves to ahigher standard,” said Johnson. “Thetraining we receive on courage helps usuphold that standard by giving us confidence, not hesitating with decisions oractions, and ultimately just being a betterMarine.”The depot Single Marine Programis sponsoring two five-person teamsto participate in the Spark AdventureRace July 13.The event is an exciting adventurerace experience that combines all of thebest aspects of urban adventure racingathletic events, games, puzzles, photohunts and other fun and adventurousactivities!The race covers downtown SanDiego from 11 a.m., until 5 p.m.starting at the Gaslamp District.For information go to: race/.To participate in this limited spaceevent contact Josh Davis at (619) 5248240; or via computer at davisjp@usmc-mccs.org or on Facebook athttp://on.fb.me/16fdrlv.Militay Retiree AppreciationSeminar and Resource FairThe depot sponsors a MiliaryRetiree Appreciation Seminar andResource Fair on July 26.

CHEVRON FEATURE4JUNE 28, 20135Company E conquers Confidence Course IIby Cpl. Bridget M. KeaneChevron staffConfidence is a feeling ofassurance that allows oneto perform effectivelyunder pressure. Throughoutrecruit training, recruits faceobstacles that will challenge themboth mentally and physically andhelp build their confidence.Recruits ofCompany E, 2nd Recruit TrainingBattalion, endured ConfidenceCourse II aboard Marine CorpsRecruit Depot San Diego June 11.The Confidence Course is avariety of obstacles that is meantto push recruits beyond theirlimits. From monkey bars to thetowering 30-foot Stairway toHeaven, each obstacle is designedto challenge the bodies and mindsof every recruit.“The main purpose ofthe ConfidenceCourse is to teach recruits aboutthe things their body’s are capable of doing,” said Sgt. JasminGeorge, drill instructor, Platoon2110, Co. E, 2nd RTBn. “They allthink that they have limits, butthey don’t and whether they knowit or not, they’re growing strongerevery day.”Although this was the secondtime Co. E has faced the Confidence Course, it was the first timethey were exposed to the highobstacles, such as the “A” Frame,Stairway to Heaven and theSlide for Life.“The first time they did thecourse, they only did the lowerobstacles which were just anintroduction,” said George, a27-year-old Baton Rouge, La.,native. “A lot of recruits strugglewith the higher obstacles becausethey have a fear of heights. Of thethree high obstacles, recruits tendto struggle with the last one themost, the Slide for Life.”The Slide for life is a 25-foottower that requires recruits toclimb across a descending 90-footcable above a 4-foot deep pool.In the middle of the downwardclimb, recruits are instructedCpl. Bridget M. KeaneRecruits of Company E, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, climb over a wall using during Confidence Course II aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot SanDiego June 11. The Confidence Course challenges recruits to push their limits both mentally and physically.to changed positions. If therecruit either fails to get theirlegs back on the cable or letsgo, they fall into the water.“I was hesitant at first butI was confident that I wouldmake it across,” said RecruitDavid Capron, Plt. 2111, Co. E,2nd RTBn. “I believe that if youput your mind to it and overcome the fear in your mind,you’ll be able to accomplish it.”While waiting for theirturn to challenge an obstacle,recruits would watch andencourage those whostruggled to overcome it.“I think thepurpose confidence courseisn’t to makerecruitslook likecowards,but toallowthem achance totrust theirbody’scapabilities,”explainedCapron, a21-year oldHealdsburg, Calif.,native. “It benefits therecruits more than they’ll probably know. Once they completeobstacles they’re afraid of,they’ll have the self-confidencethey need to move on in training.”The recruits of Co. E will seethe Confidence Course oncemore, during the Crucible, a54-hour field training exercise that requires recruits toapply all that they have learnedthroughout training with verylittle sleep and food. Knowingwhat their bodies are capable of,Co. E can confidently move onin their journey to earn the title“Marine.”Cpl. Bridget M. KeaneCpl. Bridget M.
