    U.S. Marine Corps Recruit Yanela Alvizar, a recruit with Golf Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, suppresses a simulated ambush during the John Basilone Challenge on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, Jan. 5, 2022. The event was 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.” Alvizar was recruited out of Sacramento, Calif. with Recruiting Station Visalia.
