U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Mayra Garcia, a senior

U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Mayra Garcia, a senior drill instructor from 4th Battalion at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C., speaks with Marine Corps Recruiting Substation North Phoenix enlistees during a physical training exercise at the Metrocenter Mall in Phoenix, March 3, 2016. “As long as you believe in yourself, you will succeed,” said Garcia, a native of El Paso, Texas. “We will not let you fail, even when you give up on yourself.” The enlistees are currently part of the delayed entry program and are awaiting their dates to ship to boot camp. Garcia and three other drill instructors are visiting the Phoenix region through March 6 to provide enlistees and potential applicants a first-hand preview of what they may be able to expect once they step onto the yellow footprints at boot camp.
