Rct. Tailynn Pinckney, Platoon 4015, Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, uses her pack as a flotation device during water survival qualification March 10, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. All recruits must pass water survival qualification to advance in training. Water survival qualification was designed to increase recruits’ self-confidence, reduce fear and ensure they can survive in water. Pinckney, an 18-year-old native of Stroudsburg, Pa., is scheduled to graduate May 9, 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 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 Lance Cpl. Vaniah Temple)
