Staff Sgt. Matthew Tovar, senior drill instructor for Platoon 3093, Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, asks recruits for their definition of mental courage during a core values guided discussion Sept. 18, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Tovar, 27, from Los Angeles, asked his recruits how it affected the whole platoon if just one recruit gives up in training. Being in the second training week, the recruits were still learning what it means to work as a team and how having the mental and moral courage to work together and look past their differences brings them one step closer to joining the Marine Corps family. Lima Company is scheduled to graduate Nov. 26, 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)
