In the wake of the death of a recruit and the related firing of the two top leaders of Recruit Training Regiment at the Marines’ East Coast boot camp, officers are undergoing new training on rules and procedures to head off future problems.
A spokesman for Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, South Carolina, Capt. Gregory Carroll, said the March 18 death of 20-year-old recruit Raheel Siddiqui prompted a review of policies and procedures and spurred retraining of Parris Island personnel.

Officials said the two leaders were removed when an investigation related to Siddiqui’s death revealed that policies and procedures were not being properly followed..”
