Rct. Cody Norwood, Platoon 3006, Mike Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, stares at the drill instructors Oct. 26, 2013, who will be responsible for molding him into a Marine over the next 12 weeks on Parris Island, S.C. This was the first encounter the recruits had with their training drill instructors. Norwood, 22, from Southwest Harbor, Maine, 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)
