Drill Instructor Sgt. Dengrier Baez, Platoon 3009, Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, orders recruits to remain disciplined even during breakfast on their first official training day on Dec. 11, 2014, at 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. Male recruits consume approximately 3,600 calories a day. Baez, 31, is from Bronx, N.Y. 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)
