    A military service member in camouflage uniform is traversing a rope obstacle course over a body of water. The individual is hanging from an overhead rope while navigating above a cargo net, suspended over a reflective pond in a wooded training environment. This appears to be a military obstacle course or confidence course exercise.

    Rct. Nick Desouza, Platoon 1045, Bravo Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, switches positions on a Confidence Course obstacle March 24, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. This obstacle requires recruits to slide across a rope in three different positions without falling into the pond beneath. Desouza, 18, from Yarmouth, Mass., 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)
