Staff Sgt. Robert Leshinsky, senior drill instructor for Platoon 3024, Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, supervises his recruits during a developmental exercise session Feb. 3, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Senior drill instructors like Leshinsky, 28, from North Tonawanda, N.Y., use these sessions, normally held on days when there is not a physical fitness session, to help recruits continue to improve their overall fitness by performing a series of pullups, crunches, pushups and core exercises. The formal 70-day training schedule begins about a week after recruits arrive on Parris Island; recruits spend the first week in-processing and learning basic procedures and expectations. Lima 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)
