Rct. Jesse Flanagan, 19, left, and Rct. Jerome Burbick, 21, drag Rct. Justin Hale, 18, across the sandy path during the Crucible on Jan. 17, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Hale was a simulated casualty that his fellow recruits had to evacuate to safety. The Crucible is a 54-hour assessment during which recruits must prove they are worthy to be part of the nation’s most prestigious brotherhood. Upon completion, recruits earn Eagle, Globe and Anchor emblems and the right to be called Marines. Flanagan, a native of Brighton, Mich.; Burbick, a native of Bronx, N.Y.; and Hale, a Currituck, N.C., native, are all with Platoon 1006, Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, and are 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)
