I was assigned to boot camp at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, California, and then to advanced infantry training at Camp Pendleton, California.
Mind määrati Californiasse San Diego merejalaväe korpuse nekrutite õppeväeossa ja sealt edasi samuti Californias asuvasse Camp Pendletoni, et saaksin lisaväljaõpet, teenimaks jalaväes.
