[edit] Changes to the Crucible

At the end of the crucible, the EGA is no longer presented to the recruit(therefore not becoming a Marine for another week). He/She is instead awarded his/her MCMAP belt. The awarding of the EGA now occurs on family day, the day before graduation from boot camp. As for the hills part of the article, that of course is depending on which MCRD you go to. I'll go ahead and edit the EGA part though. Gelston 20:30, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
