Marine Corps Pvt. Jack J. Lamoreux recently completed 12
weeks of basic training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, Calif.
Lamoreux and fellow recruits began their
training at 5 a. m. by running three miles and performing calisthenics. In addition to the physical conditioning program,
Lamoreux spent numerous hours in classroom and field assignments which included learning first aid, uniform regulations, combat
water survival, marksmanship, hand-to-hand combat and assorted weapons training. They performed close order drill and operated
as a small infantry unit during field training. Lamoreux and other recruits also received instruction on the Marine Corps'
core values - honor, courage and commitment - and what the core values mean in guiding personal and professional conduct.
Lamoreux and fellow recruits ended the training phase with "The Crucible," a 54-hour team evolution culminating in a ceremony
in which recruits are presented the Marine Corps Emblem, and addressed as "Marines" for the first time in their careers.
