"Final Drill Evaluation – The Final Drill Evaluation tests each platoon’s ability to listen to the orders of its Drill Instructor, and is a final demonstration of unit discipline and esprit de corps. Drill was used as one of the first methods of transforming these recruits from civilians into Marines, and played a large part on their development of teamwork and unit cohesion.
"The object of close order drill is to teach Marines by exercise to obey orders and to do so immediately in the correct way. Close order drill is one foundation of discipline and esprit de corps. Additionally, it is still one of the finest methods for developing confidence and troop leading abilities in our subordinate leaders.
"Leave and Liberty – In this class recruits learn about Leave and Liberty as outlined in Marine Corps Order P1050.3H. They also learn about proper leave and liberty behavior, proper leave and liberty attire, and are taught that Marines are associated and identified with the Marine Corps in and out of uniform, on or off duty, during leave and liberty, and that Marines will present the best possible image at all times and continue to set the example in military presence
"Leave is authorized absence from a place of duty (Paid vacation) for recreation and relief from the pressures of job-related duties. You may also take leave for personal reasons and emergency situations. Leave is a RIGHT (not a privilege) that is granted by Congress under Federal Law, but while leave is a RIGHT, that doesn't necessarily mean you can take it whenever you wish. As with all things, "military necessity" determines when you can take your leave.
"Liberty is time-off, not chargeable as leave, and is any authorized absence granted for short periods to provide respite from the working environment or for other specific reasons, at the end of which the Marine is actually on board or in the location from which the Marine regularly commutes to work. This includes regular and special liberty periods.
"Core Values– Starting on Training Day 1 recruits learned that to be a Marine is to do what is right in the face of overwhelming adversity. On training day 62, the day before the Crucible, recruits are expected to have learned the difference between right and wrong, and that they will do what is right, and that they have fully embraced ethical behavior and our core values. The Corps' core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment, values that make up the bedrock of a Marine's character, should now be a part of each of them. They aspire to become Marines, and this night, when they step off to challenge the Crucible, they will be measured against these values, and only those who pass will earn the title Marine.
