Sgt. John Rethage, left, and Sgt. Jeffrey Lovelace, drill instructors for Platoon 1034, Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, pace the center isle of the barracks minutes before waking their recruits April 9, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Drill instructors are all but quiet when they rush recruits out of bed to begin the training day. Lovelace, 27, is from Fairmont, Neb., and Rethage, 27, is a Pittsburgh native. Alpha Company is scheduled to graduate May 30, 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)
