Rct. Curiesha J. Ford, Platoon 4010, Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, inserts a magazine into her weapon during marksmanship training Feb. 25, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. Each recruit fires more than 500 rounds over five days. At the end of the week, they attempt to qualify from distances of 200, 300 and 500 yards. Ford, 19, from Greenville, Tenn., is scheduled to graduate April 3, 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. Jennifer Schubert)
