Good Morning All,
Myself and a friend went down to MCRD San Diego this weekend and I saw something that was sort of odd I thought. We saw several platoons marching around and of course the Drill Instructors were there making sure the recruits were pivoting, taking a full 30 and all that jazz. All the Drill Instructors were wearing Service B Mods (green trousers, wooly pulley and long sleeve shirt) but for each platoon only one Drill Instructor was wearing the ''Smokey Bear'' cover, all the rest were wearing the **** cover. Could the other Marines be Marines that are in D.I. school? My guess is that they were. I had never been to MCRDSD (I went to Parris Island for boot camp) but i'll say, it was sure nice to be able to go there and not have to push : )
