Rct. John McDonald carries Rct. Nicholas Shadlich, both with Platoon 1034, Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, during a developmental exercise session May 5, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. The recruits completed a short circuit course that included pushups and buddy drags and carries. The session is part of the Developmental Exercise Program, which aims to supplement recruits’ physical training and further their fitness. McDonald, a 19-year-old from Falmouth, Ky., and Shadlich a 19-year-old from Ocala, Fla., are 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)
