Lt. Col. James Shelton, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion's commander, speaks with new Marines of Lima Company during their battalion commander's inspection Sept. 4, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Shelton, 47, from Harlan, Iowa, spoke with the new Marines on the importance of making sure their fellow Marines are prepared not only for inspections, but for any challenge they face. New Marines must pass the battalion commander's inspection to graduate recruit training. Lima Company is scheduled to graduate Sept. 6, 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)
