Rct. Zachary Smith, Platoon 3102, Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, presents the guidon, or unit flag, during the initial drill evaluation Oct. 21, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Drillmasters, experts on the Marine Corps Drill and Ceremonies Manual, grade recruits on their discipline, bearing and attention to detail. Close-order drill enables a unit to move from one place to another in a standard, orderly manner and creates a sense of unit cohesion. Smith, 23, from Columbus, Ind., is scheduled to graduate Nov. 22, 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)
