Rct. Michael Maloney, Platoon 3086, India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, fills out his data book after firing on a rifle range Sept. 19, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Maloney, 18, from Pittsfield, Mass., used the book to keep track of his progress leading up to qualification day. Recruits spend four days honing their shooting skills before qualifying with the M16-A4. India Company is 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 of females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Cpl. Caitlin Brink)
