A team of recruits of Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, wait to begin the next obstacle during the Crucible on Jan. 17, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits worked in teams for the duration of the Crucible, reinforcing the importance of teamwork and cohesion. The Crucible is a 54-hour test every recruit must complete in order to graduate. Alpha Company is scheduled to graduate Jan. 24, 2014. 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 Cpl. Octavia Davis)
