MCRD San Diego · Mission Control

A note for parents. This is an estimated schedule built from the official MCRD San Diego training matrix. Real drill instructors shift events by hours all the time — so treat this as a good guide, not a guarantee. The single most important thing to remember: no news is good news. If something were wrong, you would be contacted directly. Silence means your recruit is exactly where they're supposed to be, doing exactly what thousands of Marines have done before them.
