Rct. Scott Hunt, Platoon 1065, Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, strikes a winning blow against his opponent during pugil stick training July 15, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Pugil stick training simulates close-quarters combat with rifles fixed with bayonets. The 15-second matches are closely monitored by instructors and help teach recruits what they may encounter while deployed in a combat zone. “I joined the Marine Corps to be a warrior,” said Hunt. “I want to protect my country and my friends.” Hunt, 19, from Palm Bay, Fla., is scheduled to graduate Sept. 19, 2014.
