Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego - Military Installations on Waymarking.com

As described on the MCRDSD website: "Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) San Diego is one of the birthplaces of basically trained Marines. It is here where America's young men are transformed into Marines. We believe that Marines are forged in a furnace of shared hardship and tough training. This shared, intense experience creates bonds of comradeship and standards of conduct so strong that Marines will let nothing stand in their way. This belief will continue to be the basis upon which we make Marines." Marine recruits from west of the Mississippi river come here for their boot camp training. We were proud to watch our son graduate as a Marine here in Sept of 2005. SEMPER FI!

Era: WW I General Comments: Construction started in 1919 and on 1 December 1921, the new post stood ready for service. On that day General Pendleton placed it into commission as the Marine Advanced Expeditionary Base, San Diego, California. Related web site: [Web Link]
