Recruits of Platoon 1034, Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, put on their trousers as they prepare for another training day April 9, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. With typically busy training days ahead, recruits have mere seconds to complete most morning tasks, such as getting dressed. 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)
