Navy trains all Hispanic recruit company at San Diego
The first all Hispanic recruit company, nicknamed Los Marineros, graduated with honors from the San Diego Naval Training Center. Cmdr.

The sailors will be dispersed for further schooling and assignments as the Navy weighs future use of single-ethnicity units.
