What Recruits Go Through at Marine Corps Boot Camp in San Diego | 2025

Mom and dad, I miss you. We don't get much free time throughout the day, but when we do, it feels good to write letters home. Boot camp is tough, but being with people that are going through the same things as me makes it a lot easier. The best part of my day is mail call. Hearing the drill instructor call my name, knowing I have a letter from home. Reading your words motivate me to keep pushing even when it gets hard. I can't wait to hear from you. I miss you, but I can't quit. I love you. You're a recruit. Scream! Scream, Robertson! Staff your order! Staff it! Scream it! Scream! First your order! First your order!
