Pictures were posted today, September 25, 2015, of some of the things that Jeremiah's company did during The Crucible.

Recruits of Charlie Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, tested their physical strength during a Crucible event known as Jenkin’s Pinnacle. Recruits ran to several stations as a fire team carrying a log. The recruits then set the log on the ground and performed the designated exercise for that station. Once recruits completed the exercise, they executed another exercise utilizing the log. After completing the station, recruits ran to the next station with the log to begin another exercise. Station exercises included push-ups, sit-ups, crunches and log exercises included log curls, squats and overhead presses. Conquering this event, the recruits are one step closer to becoming Marines.
