Rct. Zachary Ledford, Platoon 3025, Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, responds to orders Feb. 18, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits must quickly put on each uniform item within a time limit set by the drill instructor. If a recruit moves too slow the whole platoon must start over, teaching them to work as one unit. Ledford, 17, from Columbia, S.C., 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)
