Training In Full MCRD San Diego Training Matrix

Here's how the weeks of the Training Matrix work. The Matrix includes 13 weeks. Your recruit is actually AT MCRD for recruit training for 13 weeks. Receiving Week (a/k/a pickup) is the first week. Then there are 12 training weeks. The training weeks are called "Training Week 1", "Training Week 2", etc. So when you hear training week 1 and you think to yourself "but my recruit has already been there one week!" you'll understand the training week numbers a little better.

To receive an 11x17 Training Matrix, we ask that you pay the postage and order from The EGA Shop.
