The recruits are filmed running in the water along the beach here near Point Wilson Light. Three of them are talking and get two miles added to their run. They also work out on Battery Ash, in the tunnel to Battery Benson, and between Battery Vicars and Battery Kinzie. Later in the movie, Louis Gossett Jr. as Gunnery Sergeant Emil Foley has Richard Gere as Aviation Officer Candidate Zack Mayo dancing around him here trying to get him to quit.
