Rct. Jacob Jageman, Platoon 1093, Delta Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, practices an elbow strike during a Marine Corps Martial Arts Program endurance course Oct. 2, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. The program combines hand-to-hand combat skills with mental discipline and character development, helping to create morally and physically sound warriors. Jageman, 20, from Meadville, Pa., is scheduled to graduate Dec. 5, 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. Caitlin Brink)
