Senior drill instructor Sgt. Fernando Horta speaks to the soon-to-be recruits of Charlie Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, and Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, moments before they enter the recruit receiving building April 28, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Drill instructors waited behind the doors, ready to introduce the recruits to the controlled chaos of boot camp. Horta is a 28-year-old from West New York, N.J. Charlie and Oscar Companies are scheduled to graduate July 25, 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)
