Recruit Platoon 31525 Kicks Off Training with Teamwork & Discipline

January 7, 2025 by Andi Schwartz

On Saturday, Recruit Platoon 31525 came together for the first time, marking the start of an exciting journey! Led by Assistant Recruit Instructors YM/Sgt Harper-Osborne, YM/Cpl Cavazos, and YM/Cpl Millikan, the recruits began learning the core values of teamwork, leadership, and discipline. Their training included Drug Demand Reduction (DDR), physical fitness (PT), and Close Order Drill (COD)—setting a strong foundation for their development. We can’t wait to see what this recruit class accomplishes in the weeks ahead!
