Sgt. Michael Nygaard currently serves as a Marine Corps drill instructor with India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C. Nygaard joined the Marine Corps in June 2003 and became a drill instructor in March 2013. “It (being a drill instructor) was something I’ve wanted to do since I graduated recruit training,” said Nygaard. “Watching my DIs when I came in just made me want to do it.” Nygaard is a native of Cape Coral, Fla. About 600 Marine Corps drill instructors shape the approximately 20,000 recruits who come to Parris Island annually into basic United States Marines. 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. MaryAnn Hill)
