Rct. Chad Jones, Platoon 3049, India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, lifts a 30-pound ammunition can during a Marine Corps combat fitness test June 18, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Jones, 22, from Orlando, Fla., had two minutes to lift the can as many times as possible. He needed to raise the can 91 times to earn a perfect score on this portion of the test. The CFT, which simulates the wide range of physical challenges one might face in combat, evaluates strength, stamina, agility and coordination. Kilo Company is scheduled to graduate July 3, 2013. Parris Island has been the site of Marine Corps recruit training since Nov. 1, 1915. Today, approximately 20,000 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 50 percent of males and 100 percent for females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Lance Cpl. Caitlin Brink)
