New recruits of Mike Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, receive their first set of uniforms Oct. 21, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Future Marine Corps recruits are only allowed to bring certain items with them to training, such as religious material or an address book. Everything else is provided for them. Unnecessary items, such as their civilian clothing, are placed into storage until the week of graduation. Mike Company is scheduled to graduate Jan. 17, 2014. 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)
