    Staff Sgt. Mark Mlachak, senior drill instructor for Platoon 3069, shakes hands with Lt. Col. James Shelton, commanding officer of 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, following his inspection of Lima Company's new Marines on Sept. 4, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. New Marines must pass the battalion commander's inspection to graduate recruit training. Mlachak, 30, is from Painesville, Ohio. 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)
