Staff Sgt. Tristan Curren, a drill instructor for Platoon 1022, Charlie Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, encourages his recruits to move faster March 10, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. The recruits staged their gear inside huts where they stayed in for the following two nights. This was the recruits’ first time spending the night in the field as opposed to the comforts of their barracks. This excursion was part of Basic Warrior Training, which aims to develop recruits’ knowledge of common combat- and field-related skills. Curren, 28, is from Port Angeles, Wash. Charlie Company is scheduled to graduate April 4, 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)
