    Recruits of India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, practice marksmanship fundamentals Dec. 11, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Instructors use the Indoor Simulated Marksmanship Trainer to help recruits understand marksmanship fundamentals, such as slow, steady breathing and trigger control, before they fire live rounds. India Company 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)
