Description: At this location, several Marines took shelter in the rocks and up against a granite bluff directly behind us. The Marine recruits no more than 17 to 20 years old endured extreme heat from the two different runs which created a broiler effect. According to the commanding officers, these young men stood their ground and did not panic even though they were being burned. Even though severely burned (hands, and backside) from the heat and lack of standard personal protection equipment used today, these young Marines at this location survived.
