Drill instructors of Platoon 3013, India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, order their recruits to stand in front of their footlockers Dec. 3, 2013, after returning from their morning physical training session on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits begin their mornings at 4 a.m., with little to no rest between training events until they return to their beds at 8 p.m. India Company 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)
