    Rct. Jennifer Wilson, Platoon 4020, November Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, jumps for a bar during the Crucible June 28, 2013, at the combat training area on Parris Island, S.C. Wilson, a 23-year-old native of Columbus, Ohio, trusted her fellow recruits to catch her during an event meant to reinforce trust and accountability between recruits. Drill instructors constantly tested recruits on their teamwork, endurance and dedication during the 54-hour final test. November 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. MaryAnn Hill)
