Sgt. Jonathan Brooks, a drill instructor, rushes new recruits of Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, to desks shortly after arriving at Parris Island, S.C., on Sept. 16, 2013. Brooks, 27, from Scottsbluff, Neb., is one of a handful of drill instructors responsible for preparing new recruits for training. The first night comes as a shock for most recruits as they deal with stress, sleep deprivation, new rules and ferocious drill instructors. Lima Company is scheduled to graduate Dec. 13, 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)
