Recruits of Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, tread water during basic water survival training July 21, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. All recruits must pass water survival qualification to advance in training. The training was designed to increase recruits’ self-confidence, reduce fear and ensure they can survive in water.
