Recruits of Bravo Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, begin a 1.5-mile run March 28, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C., during an initial strength test. The recruits had to cover the distance in 13:30 or less. The initial strength test measures recruits’ physical readiness to continue training. 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)
