Drill Instructor

Marine Corps Drill Instructors are among the most distinctive military trainers, identifiable by their campaign cover (the Campaign Cover, not the brown round) and high-intensity training style. DIs volunteer for the assignment after completing DI school. They work in teams (one Senior DI plus two or three junior DIs) assigned to each recruit platoon. At TRACEN Cape May, the Coast Guard equivalent is called a Company Commander (CC).
