U.S. Marine Corps Recruit Christina Liapis, a recruit with Golf Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, prepares to battle during a pugil sticks event on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, Jan. 4, 2022. This event is part of the crucible – a 54-hour event that challenges all the skills a recruit has learned throughout recruit training. Recruits will go through physically and mentally demanding challenges with limited food and sleep during the crucible. The crucible is one of the final stepping stones in completing recruit training. Once a recruit completes the crucible, they will have earned the title “United States Marine.” Liapis was recruited out of Milwaukee, Wis. with Recruiting Station South Milwaukee.
