    Recruits of Bravo Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, perform crunches during an initial strength test March 28, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. The initial strength test measures recruits’ physical readiness to begin training. It consists of pullups, crunches and a 1.5-mile run. Bravo Company is scheduled to graduate June 20, 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)
