SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The first gender-integrated company at the Marine Corps West Coast training depot in San Diego graduated Thursday.
The Marines of Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, are the first group of male and female platoons to train concurrently in MCRD San Diego s nearly 100-year history. The company, made up of 53 women and 344 men, began training Feb. 12. This graduation of the first integrated company of Marines trained here at MCRD San Diego marks the completion of the first step toward a future in which each Marine who graduates MCRD San Diego has the same experience as their peers at Parris Island. said Brig. Gen. Ryan P. Heritage, commanding general of MCRD San Diego.
SAN DIEGO
There was excitement in the air as family and friends of new Marines made their way to the grandstands on the parade deck of Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego Thursday morning. At the end of the parade grounds, 397 freshly-minted Marines stood at parade rest in formation. Passing family members stole glances trying to find their Marines among the uniformed mass.
While the San Diego depot graduates about 40 companies of new Marines each year, Thursday’s ceremony was special. It was only the third graduation open to family and friends since they were suspended in March 2020 due to the coronavirus. And in one of the six graduating platoons were 53 women the first women to graduate from Marine Corps’ San Diego boot camp in its 100-year history.
