Recruit Blossom

The second blossom in every Bootcamp or Moto Monday Bouquet, the Recruit Blossom represents the courageous patriot that has signed on to protect the United States of America and now stands ready to train. After passing the Initial Strength Test and being picked up by company Drill Instructors at the end of the first week, Poolees are officially now called Recruits. Training begins in earnest on the 2nd Monday of this 13 week journey.

Surrounded by patriotic petals, the blue button center of each Recruit Blossom references the navy blue Poolee shirt many of them wore to train with their Recruiting Station in the weeks and months prior to shipping to boot camp.
