The new Marines of Delta Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, enjoy a Warrior's Breakfast after completing the Crucible on Dec. 14, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. This breakfast was the final reward after finishing the 54-hour culminating event of training, allowing the new Marines to talk to their drill instructors as fellow Marines for the first time. Drill instructors constantly test recruits on their adherence to the Marine Corps' core values of honor, courage and commitment during the Crucible. Delta Company is scheduled to graduate Dec. 20, 2013. Parris Island has been the site of Marine Corps recruit training since Nov. 1, 1915. Today, approximately 20,000 recruits come to Parris Island annually for the chance to become United States Marines by enduring 13 weeks of rigorous, transformative training. Parris Island is home to entry-level enlisted training for 50 percent of males and 100 percent of females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Lance Cpl. MaryAnn Hill)
