Recruits of Platoon 3025, Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, brush dirt to the center of their barracks Feb. 18, 2014, shortly after waking for another training day on Parris Island, S.C. From the moment they jump out of bed at 4 a.m., recruits spent the first hour getting dressed, preparing equipment, cleaning their barracks, and finally, eating a nutritious breakfast. 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)
