Receiving Week MCRD Parris Island Training Matrix
Recruits arrive on Parris Island late at night and are immediately thrust into the stressful whirlwind of in-processing, haircuts, uniform and gear issue and medical evaluations. Recruits undergo an initial strength test to ensure they are prepared for training. At the end of the week, they meet the team of drill instructors who will be responsible for them for the rest of training.
Scroll below for explanations and terminology in civilian terms. Referenced Matrix in use by MCRD PI as of April 2022.
