Recruits of Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, practice martial arts techniques while waiting to begin a Confidence Course obstacle Jan. 9, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. This course provides unique challenges to recruits who must overcome each obstacle using strength, teamwork and endurance. The recruits learned Marine Corps martial arts skills earlier in training and practiced them to keep their skills sharp. Alpha 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 Cpl. MaryAnn Hill)
