Sgt. Nathan Blocker, a combat marksmanship coach and safety supervisor, calls for an armorer to replace a faulty magazine Sept. 18, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Faulty magazines are the most common cause of malfunctions on the rifle range. Blocker, 30, from Longview, Texas, is charged with ensuring recruits and range personnel use proper safety measures at all times. 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)
