Marines with Charlie Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, graduated from recruit training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego on Sept. 18, 2026, according to a post from @MCRD_SD shared Sept. 23.

The post included photographs credited to Lance Cpl. Kevin Alonso and Lance Cpl. Rihanna Bryant. The command's caption did not include attendance figures, quotes from graduates or family members, or details of where the new Marines will report next.

For each Marine in Charlie Company, the day marks the formal end of recruit training and the start of service as a Marine. The command's post does not say where these Marines trained from or how many weeks the process took for this group, so this report does not speculate on those details.

This report is based solely on the public caption from the command's post. Attendance figures, individual stories, and any details visible only in the photographs have not been independently verified and are not included here.
