A corpsman inspects the feet of a student with Infantry Training Battalion following a 5-kilometer hike during the first week of training at Marine Corps Base Camp Geiger, N.C., Sept. 28, 2013. The students will complete 10-kilometer, 15-kilometer and 20-kilometer hikes throughout their training iteration. Fifteen female Marines were given the opportunity to attend the training after boot camp for the first time in Marine Corps history as part of ongoing research into the integration of women into combat-related job fields. The female Marines go through the same training and are held to the same standards as their male counterparts. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Chelsea Flowers Anderson/Released)
