Haley Valentine, both with Platoon 4038, during a combat fitness test Oct. 21, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. The CFT was designed to evaluate strength, stamina, agility and coordination.

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. Caitlin Brink)
