    Rct. Jadon J. Iberico, a 18-year-old native of Ponchatoula, La., is currently training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C., in hopes of earning the title United States Marine. Iberico is training with Platoon 3068, India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, and is scheduled to graduate Sept. 2, 2016. “I joined for the challenge and to be the best,” said Iberico, who graduated from Ponchatoula High School in 2016. “When you tell someone you are in the Marine Corps, they automatically believe you have the discipline to be the best because you are a part of the best military branch.” Approximately 19,000 recruits come to Parris Island annually for the chance to become United States Marines by enduring 13 weeks of rigorous training. Parris Island is home to entry-level enlisted training for 49 percent of males and 100 percent of females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Cpl. Vanessa Austin)
