Picture 2 of 23 from USMC - 1960-1964 Camp Pendleton & Camp Lejeune

Marine Corps Boot Camp (recruit training) at San Diego, California in late summer 1960.

Company Commander's rifle inspection, the first three squads, left front into line. By this time, maybe 5 weeks into it, we were pretty "squared away" as recruits. Full basic training consisted of 17 weeks, including 13 weeks of basic recruit training and 4 weeks of advanced infantry training with weapons. In this picture I am the first recruit on the right.
