Rct. Monica Benevides, Platoon 4021, November Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, struggles to pull her weapon out of concertina wire during the Crucible on June 28, 2013, at the combat training area on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits like Benevides, an 18-year-old native of Laredo, Texas, overcame many different obstacles during the 54-hour culminating event to test their endurance. Drill instructors evaluated recruits on her mental, moral and physical development in order to validate her transformation into a United States Marine. 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)
