Marine Corps Recruiting Escondido

From doubting himself to building confidence, from extra weight to extra strength 💪🇺🇸 Poolee Ramirez has put in the WORK and it shows. The Delayed Entry Program didn’t just help him lose weight—it gave him the mindset to know he will conquer the challenges of Marine Corps Bootcamp.

Proud of the progress, proud of the discipline, and ready for the fight ahead. Now FINISH THE JOB!!

This past weekend RSS Escondido showed out for RS San Diego’s Annual Pool Function! A opportunity for all poolees & recruiters from recruiting stations throughout San Diego County to come together & build camaraderie. Poolees participated in a Initial Strength Assessment to see their physical abilities and status to depart for recruit training. They also competed to see who was the strongest and baddest RSS in squad competitions that concluded with the infamous tug of war 😤

Special shoutout to Poolee Perez for going full Gung Ho and leading the charge like an absolute machine 🔥—we see you, warrior!

We flexed, we fought, we almost fell over—and we loved every second.
Catch us next year, stronger, louder!

The challenges you will face in recruit training are unlike any you have ever experienced before. It is not simply enough to endure; you must be able to prevail. Recruits complete the gas chamber during chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear defense training. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Ayden Cassano)
