U.S Marine Corps Rct. Steven Featherson, Platoon 3006, Kilo Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, rushes towards a simulated enemy Nov. 17, 2017, during bayonet training on Parris Island, S.C. The bayonet assault course is comprised of five simulated enemies that the recruits attack with a bayonet attached to the end of their rifles, simulating a close encounter with an enemy. This training is part of the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program, which combines hand-to-hand combat skills with mental discipline and character development to transform recruits into physically and morally sound warriors. Featherson, 20, from Scottsville, Ky., is scheduled to graduate Jan. 12, 2018. Today, approximately 19,000 recruits come to Parris Island annually for the chance to become United States Marines by enduring 12 weeks of rigorous, transformative training. Parris Island is home to entry-level enlisted training for approximately 49 percent of male recruits and 100 percent of female recruits in the Marine Corps. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.
