Staff Sgt. Matthew Tovar, senior drill instructor for Platoon 3093, Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, asks his recruits why it is important for each recruit to have mental, moral and physical courage during a core values guided discussion Sept. 18, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Tovar, 27, from Los Angeles, reminded his recruits that they succeed as a team, or fail as individuals, meaning every recruit must do their part no matter how mentally or physically exhausted they are. 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)
