Drill instructor Sgt. Nathan McLain encourages Rct. Samuel Peeples, Platoon 1033, Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, to move faster as he fills out a temporary nametag March 3, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. McLain, a 26-year-old from Fence, Wis., and his fellow drill instructors demanded speed and intensity from the recruits at all times. Peeples, an 18-year-old from Wewahitchka, Fla., is scheduled to graduate May 30, 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)
