    Staff Sgt. Michael Williams, a drill instructor for Golf Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, corrects Rct. James Warrington, Platoon 2090, during rifle incentive training Sept. 5, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits who repeatedly make the same mistake often receive incentive training, a short period of physical exercises administered in a controlled and deliberate manner, to improve motivation. Williams, 30, is from North Charleston, S.C. Warrington, 18, from Carthage, Miss., is scheduled to graduate Nov. 21, 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)
