GySgt Shaw (a former Drill Instructor) corrects a Marine Officer Candidate on how to properly drill or march. This candidate was having a hard time comprehending the difference between taking a 15 inch half step vs a 30 inch full step to the left or the right.
A Drill Instructors primary role is to take untrained men and women, break them down mentally and physically, and rebuild them into highly trained, skilled Marines. Not an easy job by any task, even considering that we are an all volunteer force and todays recruits and officer candidates want to be there. Becoming a United States Marines is one of the most challenging endeavors an individual put themselves through.
Hats off GySgt Shaw for a job well done today for helping us to prepare these future Marine Officers for what is to come this summer once they begin their training.
