Pfc. Connor Burke, Platoon 1097, Delta Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, bellows the Marines' Hymn after receiving his Eagle, Globe and Anchor emblem during a ceremony Dec. 14, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Burke, a 22-year-old native of Melville, N.Y., just finished the Crucible, the 54-hour culminating event of recruit training, during which he demonstrated the acceptance of the Marine Corps' core values of honor, courage and commitment. 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)
