Rct. Luis Lascarro Romero, Platoon 1012, Bravo Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, scrubs his rifle Feb. 18, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Weapons maintenance can be tedious, but Marine Corps recruits learn that a clean weapon could one day prove the difference between life and death on the battlefield. Lascarro Romero, a 21-year-old native of Belleville, N.J., is scheduled to graduate Feb. 28, 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. Octavia Davis)
