Rct. Alexa Baumert, adjusts the straps on Rct. Bianca Saunders’ gas mask during chemical and biological warfare defense training Oct. 29, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits first learned about the masks and how to use them, then went inside the tear-gas filled chamber and applied their skills in order to become confident and comfortable with using the masks in a chemically or biologically contaminated environment. Baumert, 18, from St. James, N.Y., and Saunders, 23, from Wolcott, Conn., are scheduled to graduate with Platoon 4042, Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, on Dec. 20, 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)
