Rct. Joshua Rose, left, and Rct. David Pina Huitzil, both with Platoon 3085, India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, leap toward the second log of a Confidence Course obstacle Aug. 20, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits completed a series of tall obstacles to help overcome any fear of heights and build confidence. Rose, 18, from Brooklyn, N.Y, and Pina Huitzil, 18, from Passaic, N.J., are scheduled to graduate Oct. 25, 2013. Parris Island has been the site of Marine Corps recruit training since Nov. 1, 1915. Today, approximately 20,000 recruits come to Parris Island annually for the chance to become United States Marines by enduring 13 weeks of rigorous, transformative training. Parris Island is home to entry-level enlisted training for 50 percent of males and 100 percent for females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Cpl. Caitlin Brink)
