Recruits of Delta Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, perform a close-order drill movement during their final drill evaluation Dec. 11, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Close-order drill is used throughout recruit training as a means to instill discipline and build unit cohesion. Drillmasters, experts on the Marine Corps Drill and Ceremonies Manual, grade recruits on discipline, attention to detail and their ability to correctly perform close-order drill movements. Delta Company is scheduled to graduate Dec. 20, 2013. 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)
