Summary
Rct. Miguel Morales-Marrero, Platoon 1098, Delta Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, leaps to the next log of a Confidence Course obstacle Dec. 5, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits such as Morales-Marrero, a 23-year-old native of Toa Alta, Puerto Rico, attempt the course twice during recruit training, once at the beginning and again near the end. The course that stands today closely resembles the original version built in the mid-1960s. Delta Company is scheduled to graduate Dec. 20, 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 of females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Lance Cpl. MaryAnn Hill)
