If a candidate doesn't put forth the effort during physical training, they makes everyone else pay by doing that exercise even longer. Being able to push yourself to the limit is a quality that Marines have endured for many a year now.
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.
