Rct. Jacob A. Schuster, Platoon 1024, Delta Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, takes notes during a class on uniform regulations Jan. 22, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. Marines take pride in their uniforms, and the foundation of that pride is built during boot camp when recruits learn how to properly wear and care for all of their uniforms. Schuster, 18, from Toccoa, Ga., is scheduled to graduate April 10, 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. Jennifer Schubert)
