COAST GUARD TRAINING CENTER CAPE MAY, N.J. – Recruit company commanders listen intently to a CC school student during his drill board to qualify as a recruit company commander Friday April 6, 2007. The drill board is in many ways a “final exam” for prospective recruit company commanders. They must demonstrate proper execution of close-order drill, manual-of-arms, manual-of-guidon and manual-of-sword movements, each before an assembled board of company commanders and instructors.
