Sgt. Adrienne Cambridge, senior drill instructor of Platoon 4003, November Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, points out a discrepancy during a formal inspection Nov. 23, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Cambridge, a 26-year-old native of Farmington, N.M., inspected her recruits' utility uniforms and quizzed them on general military knowledge. Recruits may be set back at this point in training if they do not demonstrate they're ready to continue training. Drill instructors evaluate recruits on attention to detail, confidence, bearing and discipline during these inspections. 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)
