Each Marine recruit on MCRD Parris Island is assigned to a Recruit Training Battalion. 3rd RTBN includes five companies: India, Kilo, Lima, Mike and November. Their battalion color is blue. The 4th blossom in every Bootcamp or Moto Monday Bouquet represents this "family" with whom the recruit lives, trains and graduates.
The 3rd RTBN Blossom was recently updated to include the Battalion insignia in the center and can be finished on a 9" stem, with a pin back, as an ornament or as a magnet.
