    Rct. Talia Terrack, Platoon 4022, Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, crawls under concertina wire during a Crucible event July 11, 2013, at the combat training area on Parris Island, S.C. The Crucible ends with an Eagle, Globe and Anchor ceremony, where recruits officially earn the title of U.S. Marine. Terrack, a 20-year-old native of Payson, Ariz., is training alongside her sister, Tasha Terrack, 18, and both are scheduled to graduate July 19, 2013. 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 for females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Lance Cpl. MaryAnn Hill)
