    Pfc. Joshua Rogers, a 27-year-old native of Jacksonville, Fla., had to shed 95 pounds before coming to recruit training. In May 2011, he weighed 260 pounds and spent nearly a year and a half of strict dieting and exercise to lose enough weight to enlist. Rogers spent his time on Parris Island training with Platoon 1016, Bravo Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, and graduated March 15.
