    Military personnel are navigating an elevated obstacle course structure, using ropes to traverse or descend from a raised platform. Three individuals in camouflage uniforms are actively working through the obstacle while a fourth person in a red shirt and military trousers stands on top with arms crossed, observing. The setting appears to be an outdoor military training facility surrounded by pine trees.

    Recruits of Bravo Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, slide across ropes March 24, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. This Confidence Course obstacle requires recruits to slide across a rope in three different positions without falling into the pond beneath. Bravo Company is scheduled to graduate May 29, 2015. 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 Sgt. Jennifer Schubert)
