    Senior drill instructor Sgt. Chasitie Chambers corrects Rct. Phyenisite McAllister, Platoon 4008, November Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, for her attitude Dec. 16, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Chambers, 30, from Bear, Del., is one of a handful of drill instructors responsible for preparing new recruits for training. Recruits must learn quickly that the rules of recruit training are strictly enforced, and disrespecting supervisors is not tolerated. McAllister, 19, from Tupelo, Miss., is scheduled to graduate March 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)
