The new Marines of Echo Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, and Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, enjoy a warriors’ breakfast after completing the Crucible on Aug. 13, 2016, on Parris Island, S.C. This breakfast was the final reward after finishing the 54-hour culminating event of training, allowing the new Marines to talk to their drill instructors for the first time as fellow Marines. Both companies are scheduled to graduate Aug. 19, 2016. Parris Island has been the site of Marine Corps recruit training since Nov. 1, 1915. Today, approximately 19,000 recruits come to Parris Island annually for the chance to become United States Marines by enduring 12 weeks of rigorous, transformative training. Parris Island is home to entry-level enlisted training for 49 percent of male recruits and 100 percent of female recruits in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Cpl. Vanessa Austin)
