Rct. La'Kembria Williams practices a rifle movement with Rct. Jessica Villalobos before the senior drill instructor inspection Nov. 23, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Williams and Villalobos, both with Platoon 4002, November Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, also checked each other's uniform for discrepancies. The senior drill instructor inspects recruits such as Williams, a 19-year-old native of Albany, Ga., and Villalobos, an 18-year-old native of Chandler, Texas, on their uniforms, general military knowledge and attention to detail. Recruits may be set back at this point in training if they do not demonstrate they're ready to continue training. Recruits will be inspected three times, one at the end of each phase of training to prove they grasped the basic knowledge from that training phase. November Company is scheduled to graduate Jan. 24, 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 Lance Cpl. MaryAnn Hill)
