U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Christian Fernandez, a drill instructor with Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, motivates a recruit to finish the “John Basilone Challenge” on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, Dec. 29, 2021. This event was a segment of the crucible – the culminating event of recruit training. After completing the crucible’s physically and mentally demanding challenges over the course of 54-hours with limited food and sleep, the recruits will finally have the privilege to call themselves United States Marines.
