Rct. Lauren Bare, Platoon 4001, strikes Rct. Angela Acdava, Platoon 4000, during a pugil stick match Oct. 30, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits fight with pugil sticks, which represent rifles with attached bayonets, to simulate a close encounter with an enemy. Bayonet training is part of the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program, which combines hand-to-hand combat skills with mental discipline and character development to help transform recruits into physically and morally sound warriors. Bare, a 20-year-old native of North East, Md., and Acdava, a 19-year-old native of Rogers, Ark., are scheduled to graduate Jan. 10, 2014, with Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion.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. Vaniah Temple)
