Sgt. John Eversley II, a drill instructor for Platoon 1053, Charlie Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, waits to order his platoon onto the parade deck before their initial drill evaluation June 2, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Eversley, a 29-year-old from Baltimore, led his platoon through a series of close-order drill movements, which would be graded by drillmasters, experts on the Marine Corps Drill and Ceremonies Manual. Charlie Company is 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)
