Summary
Rct. Noah Willett, Platoon 3036, Mike Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, waits as his helmet is secured March 10, 2014, before entering a pugil stick match on Parris Island, S.C. Willett, 21, from Gilbertsville, Ky., fought with a pugil stick, which represent rifles with fixed bayonets, to test his bayonet skills on a live opponent and simulate a close encounter with an enemy. Bayonet training, along with other hand-to-hand fighting skills, is encompassed in the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program, which contributes to the mental, character and physical development of recruits and Marines. Mike Company is scheduled to graduate May 23, 2014. 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 of females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Cpl. Caitlin Brink)
