A tailor marks a recruit’s blouse during uniform fittings for Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, April 9, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. The recruits received Marine Corps service and dress uniforms, which were marked and sent away for tailoring. The recruits were less than halfway through training, but the fittings were a symbol of their progression toward becoming Marines. 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)
