    U.S. Marine Corps recruit Caitlyn Going, a recruit with Golf Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, crawls through a tunnel during the crucible on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, Jan. 4, 2022. The crucible is 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.” Going was recruited out of Minneapolis, Minn. with Recruiting Station Rochester.
