Douglas Wilson, Platoon 3025, Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, on how to inflate his utility uniform Feb. 24, 2014, during water survival qualification on Parris Island, S.C. Andrews, 28, from Decatur, Ind., taught recruits like Wilson, 18, from Freeport, Fla., how to use their uniforms as a survival device. Lima Company is scheduled to graduate April 25, 2014.

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)
