U.S. Marine Corps Rct. Jonathan Florentine of Platoon 2060, Echo Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, has his safety gear adjusted by fellow recruits before a pugil sticks bout July 20, 2018, during the Crucible on Parris Island, S.C. During pugil sticks, recruits like Florentine, 18, from Boston, fight recruits from a different company to practice the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program techniques they have learned during training. Echo Company is scheduled to graduate Aug. 3, 2018. 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 13 weeks of rigorous, transformative training. Parris Island is home to entry-level enlisted training for 49 percent of males and 100 percent for females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Cpl. Joseph Jacob)
