Recruits of Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, side step across ropes on a Confidence Course obstacle Jan. 28, 2015 on Parris Island, S.C. The obstacle requires recruits to side step across a rope without falling into the pond beneath. Oscar Company 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 Pfc. Vanessa Austin)
