Staff Sgt. Steven Lichtenfels, a water survival instructor, guides Rct. Andrew Demboske, Platoon 2097, Golf Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, through the 25-meter swim portion of basic water survival qualification Oct. 7, 2013, at the recruit training pool on Parris Island, S.C. All recruits must qualify in order to advance in training. Water survival training was designed to raise recruits’ self-confidence, reduce fear and ensure they can survive in water. Lichtenfels is a 28-year-old native of Fairfax, Va. Demboske, a 19-year-old native of Royalston, Mass., is scheduled to graduate Dec. 6, 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)
