Recruits of Charlie Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, tread water during water survival qualification May 27, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. All recruits must pass water survival qualification to advance in training. Water survival qualification was designed to increase recruits’ self-confidence, reduce fear and ensure they can survive in water. 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 Lance Cpl. Vaniah Temple)
