Rct. Samantha D. Easto, Platoon 4040, November Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, performs a flexed-arm hang during her initial strength test Sept. 12, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. The minimum physical requirements for female recruits to begin training are 44 crunches in two minutes, a 12 second flexed-arm hang and a 1 1/2-mile run in 15 minutes. Easto, 18, from Smiths Grove, Ky., is scheduled to graduate Dec. 4, 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 approximately 50 percent of males and 100 percent of females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Lance Cpl. Vanessa Austin)
