Recruits of Hotel Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, swim 25 meters during water survival training Nov. 12, 2013, 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. Hotel Company is scheduled to graduate Jan. 10, 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 Lance Cpl. Vaniah Temple)
