Yes, Parris Island. Today he prepares for what is called the "Crucible" as the final test of his training. His grandmother is worried but I keep encouraging her that all that physical training he has already endured along with the good food and camaraderie of his fellow recruits He'll be okay. Below is what the Crucible consists of. When it is over there is a ceremony the next morning where he will receive his Eagle, Globe and Anchor pin and no longer be called a Recruit but will then on be a Marine.
The Crucible
54 hours
48 miles
45lbs of gear
36 warrior stations
29 team building exercises
6 hours of sleep
2 MREs
