Sgt. Chris Chamberlain, a martial arts instructor, initiates a pugil stick match between two recruits of Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, during 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. Chamberlain, 27, is from Omaha, Neb. Alpha Company is scheduled to graduate Sept. 19, 2014. (Photo by Cpl. David Bessey)
