The Crucible Overview
Training Day 63 brings the Crucible. The recruits are awakened at 2am to prepare for their hike to the Crucible. They are only 54 hours away from becoming Marines, but they will be the most difficult 54 hours of their lives.
The Crucible is the defining moment of recruit training. For most, the Crucible will be the first time they reach the limits of their mental, physical, and emotional endurance. They will know that they are capable of much more than they previously believed.

Emblem Ceremony Overview
The Eagle Globe and Anchor is what sets Marines apart from other branches of Service who delineate themselves by occupational specialty or demonstrate allegiance to a specific unit through the wearing of a patch or symbol. The only symbol Marines recognize is the Marine Corps Eagle Globe and Anchor.
Receiving the emblem signifies that the recruits have earned the title of United States Marine. They will now stand with their instructors as the Nation’s newest Marines.
