Emblem Ceremony

The transformation is complete

At the end of The Crucible, recruits march to the Emblem Ceremony, during which Drill Instructors present their platoons with the Marine Corps Emblem — the Eagle, Globe and Anchor
 
Receiving the emblem signifies that the recruits have earned a place in the Marine Corps legacy. They will now stand side by side with their instructors as Marines.
