Recruiting the world's finest is no easy job, but that responsibility falls on the shoulders of marines who are looking for the "best of the best." In 12 weeks' time, recruits endure countless mental and physical challenges that in the end prepare them for combat. WAVE 3's Shannon Davidson followed some local recruits at Parris Island, where marines are made.
The life of a marine corps recruit begins abruptly in the cover of darkness, with a light at the end of a very long 12-week tunnel.
A drill sergeant yells at a new batch of recruits, letting them know they've left their individuality behind to become part of something greater. "The word 'I,' 'me,' 'mine' -- or any other third person word is no longer in your vocabulary!"
