Rct. Kathryne C. Dorris, Platoon 4009, Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, surges towards a simulated enemy Jan. 17, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C., during bayonet training. The bayonet assault course is comprised of five simulated enemies that the recruits attack with a bayonet attached to the end of their rifles. This training is part of the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program, which combines hand-to-hand combat skills with mental discipline and character development to transform recruits into physically and morally sound warriors. Dorris, 19, from San Angelo, Texas, is scheduled to graduate March 13, 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)
