    Drill instructor Sgt. Donald Miller corrects a recruit March 25, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Drill instructors like Miller, a 28-year-old from Nacogdoches, Texas, guide new recruits through in-processing and teach them how to act before they begin the official training curriculum. 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)
