Staff Sgt. Christian Barroso, a drill instructor for Platoon 1042, Bravo Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, motivates Rct. Mark Wilson, Platoon 1041, as he struggles to heave himself over a wall May 14, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits attempt the obstacle course at least four times during training to improve their strength and stamina. Developing overall physical strength is paramount in boot camp, for recruits will be expected to uphold high fitness standards as Marines. Barroso, 28, is from Brooklyn, N.Y. Wilson is a 19-year-old from Boca Raton, Fla., and is scheduled to graduate June 20, 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)
