Recruits of Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, rinse off their gas masks Oct. 29, 2013, after exiting the gas chamber on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits learned how to properly use gas masks before being exposed to tear gas, a nonlethal agent that causes watery eyes, respiratory irritation and a burning sensation of the skin, to become comfortable with using the masks in a chemically or biologically contaminated environment. Papa Company is scheduled to graduate 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)
