Rct. Madison Rushton, Platoon 4004, Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, makes a scripted phone call Nov. 18, 2013, to notify her next-of-kin she has arrived for training on Parris Island, S.C. The recruits spent the night completing paperwork and receiving uniforms and gear in preparation for the next 13 weeks of training. Rushton, 20, from Wilmington, N.C., is scheduled to graduate Feb. 14, 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)
