Staff Sgt. Guy Lemmons, a water survival instructor, guides Rct. Raul Manzano Andrades, Platoon 1048, Charlie Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, off a tower during water survival qualification May 27, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. This part of the qualification simulated abandoning a ship and swimming to safety. Water survival qualification, one of eight graduation requirements, also includes swimming 25 meters, treading water for four minutes and quickly shedding combat equipment while underwater. Recruits wear utility uniforms and boots throughout the evaluation. Lemmons is a 28-year-old native of Copan, Okla. Manzano Andrades, a 19-year-old native of Sanford, N.C., 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 Lance Cpl. Vaniah Temple)
