Staff Sgt. Justin Corriveau, a drill instructor for Platoon 3069, Mike Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, encourages Rct. Allen Kelley, Platoon 3068, to reattempt a Confidence Course obstacle July 8, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Drill instructors like Corriveau, 26, from Oklahoma City, Okla., remind recruits, including Kelley, 19, from Auburn, Pa., that failure is not an option. Mike Company is scheduled to graduate Sept. 12, 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)
