Rct. Brendan Sloan, Platoon 3062, Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, responds to orders during a physical training session June 10, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. During boot camp, recruits participate in more than 30 physical training sessions meant to help them meet the Marine Corps’ high fitness standards. Sloan, 22, from East Rockaway, N.Y., is scheduled to graduate Aug. 22, 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. Caitlin Brink)
