    Recruits of Platoon 3005, Mike Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, respond to commands given by their newly presented drill instructors Oct. 26, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. This was the recruits’ first encounter with the Marines responsible for their next 12 weeks of training. 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)
