New recruits of Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, receive their first set of uniforms Jan. 27, 2014, shortly after arriving for training on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits are issued everything they will need during training, from socks to toothpaste. Unnecessary items, such as their civilian clothing, are stored until the week of graduation. Most of these young women, will be transformed during the next 13 weeks into basic Marines, representing the epitome of personal character, selflessness and military virtue. Papa Company is scheduled to graduate April 25, 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. Caitlin Brink)
