Rct. Jacob Diaz, Platoon 1048, Charlie Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, climbs a rope on an obstacle course June 18, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. To complete the course, recruits must get themselves over a series of elevated logs and bars and then climb a rope at the end of the course. Developing physical strength is paramount in boot camp, for recruits will be expected to uphold high fitness standards as Marines. Diaz, a 19-year-old from San Diego, 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)
