    Recruits of Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, complete a series of pushups during a physical fitness session July 23, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits perform various exercises meant to strengthen different muscle groups. Recruits participate in more than 30 physical fitness sessions meant to help them meet the Marine Corps’ high fitness standards. Papa Company is scheduled to graduate Oct. 10, 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)
