United States Marine Corps Rct. Jorge Pelaez of Platoon 1072, Delta Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, crawls through mud Oct. 13, 2017, on Parris Island, S.C. The Crucible, recruit training’s 54-hour culminating event, pushes the recruits, like Pelaez, 18, from Northport, N.Y., to work together and complete tasks in a stressful environment. Delta Company is scheduled to graduate Oct. 20, 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. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Devon Burton)
