    Rct. Brittany Vasquez, Platoon 4002, Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, makes notes in her data book Dec. 11, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits will use these books on the rifle range the following week to keep track of their progress and shot groups. Vasquez, 21, from Harlingen, Texas, is scheduled to graduate Jan. 23, 2015. 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)
