United States Marine Corps Rct. Dave Ortiz of Platoon 1004, Charlie Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, simulates being a casualty during a Crucible event Jan. 9, 2018, on Parris Island, S.C. The Crucible, recruit training’s 54-hour culminating event, tests recruits, like Ortiz, 20, from Yonkers, N.Y., and their abilities to work together and complete tasks in a stressful environment. Charlie Company is scheduled to graduate Jan. 19, 2018. Parris Island has been the site of Marine Corps recruit training since Nov. 1, 1915. Today, approximately 19,000 recruits come to Parris Island annually for the chance to become United States Marines by enduring 12 weeks of rigorous, transformative training. Parris Island is home to entry-level enlisted training for 49 percent of male recruits and 100 percent of female recruits in the Marine Corps.
