Recruits of Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, repeat the oath of enlistment during an emblem ceremony Feb. 15, 2017, on Parris Island, S.C. Each recruit earned the Eagle, Globe and Anchor emblem and the title Marine after successfully completing recruit training’s 54-hour culminating event, the Crucible. Oscar Company is scheduled to graduate Feb. 24, 2017. 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)
