Recruits of Charlie Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, carry a barrel over a wall during the 12 Stalls event of the Crucible at Edson Range, Weapons and Field Training Battalion, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., Sept. 23. For every task given, recruits were instructed to avoid the areas of the obstacles painted red. If the recruits or any part of their equipment touched the red areas, the squad was required to start the challenge over. Today, all males recruited from west of the Mississippi are trained at MCRD San Diego. The depot is responsible for training more than 16,000 recruits annually. Charlie Company is scheduled to graduate Oct. 2.
