Recruits of Kilo Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, take a short respite Nov. 16, 2013, after finishing a nine-mile hike and the 54-hour culminating event of training on Parris Island, S.C. The recruits had just finished the Crucible and awaited the beginning of the ceremony where they would be awarded the hard-earned Eagle, Globe and Anchor and the title Marine. Kilo Company is scheduled to graduate Nov. 22, 2013. 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)
