    Cpl. Jonathan Senters, a primary marksmanship instructor, collimates rifle optics for recruits of Mike Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, on Aug. 22, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Senters, a 22-year-old native of Barbourville, Ky., ensured the scope was centered and aligned for the best possible aim. Recruits train with scopes because the Marine Corps now equips its rifles with scopes, although rifle marksmanship fundamentals do not change with the device. Mike Company is scheduled to graduate Oct. 4, 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 of females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Cpl. Caitlin Brink)
