Recruits of Fox Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, and November Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, crawl to the next obstacle of a combat training course Oct. 22, 2013, as part of Basic Warrior Training on Parris Island, S.C. To make the experience more realistic, instructors use smoke grenades to disorient the recruits. Held during the ninth week, Basic Warrior Training introduces recruits to basic field skills all Marines must know. Fox and November Companies are scheduled to graduate Nov. 15, 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 Pfc. Vaniah Temple)
