Drill Instructor Staff Sgt. Case Unfried, Platoon 3010, Kilo Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, leads his recruits’ first incentive training session Dec. 11, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. The formal 70-day training schedule begins about a week after recruits arrive on Parris Island; recruits spend the first week in-processing and learning basic procedures and expectations. Drill instructors like Unfried, 31, from Bakersfield, Calif., use incentive training, which consists of physical exercises administered in a controlled and deliberate manner, to correct minor disciplinary infractions. Kilo Company is scheduled to graduate Feb. 27, 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 Sgt. Caitlin Brink)
