Capt. Michael Green, series commander, Company D, right, inspects Pvt. David Sichmeller's, Platoon 1066, Co. D, Service "A" uniform, during the Battalion Commander's Inspection on Shepherd Memorial Drill Field on Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, Feb. 23. During the inspection, Marines are required to recite memorized Marine Corps knowledge and their rifle serial numbers. The inspection can last up to three hours and can be very strenuous on the Marines as they wait under the San Diego sun. The next time the recruits step foot on the parade deck they will be leaving as America's newest United States Marines.
