    Recruits of Delta Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, exercise in a tear-gas filled chamber during chemical and biological warfare defense training Oct. 29, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits learn the gas masks can hold an airtight seal despite vigorous activity. This training ensures recruits are comfortable using the masks in a chemically or biologically contaminated environment. Delta 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 Lance Cpl. MaryAnn Hill)
