Rct. Joshua Latapie, with Platoon 2028, Golf Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, provides security during a combat training course March 18, 2014, as part of Basic Warrior Training on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits worked in teams of two or four to maneuver over and under various obstacles such as concertina wire, walls and small moats while wearing combat equipment. Basic Warrior Training introduces recruits to basic field skills all Marines must know. The basic combat training recruits receive while on Parris Island will be broadened after boot camp at advanced training in Camp Lejeune, N.C. Latapie, a 21-year-old native of Huntsville, Ala., is scheduled to graduate April 11, 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 Lance Cpl. Vaniah Temple)
