Rct. Sierra B. Nevel, Platoon 4015, Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, uses upper-body strength to complete a Confidence Course obstacle Feb. 25, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits get two opportunities to tackle, scale and weave their way through the course’s 15 obstacles, which are designed to increase confidence by overcoming physical challenges. Nevel, 17, from Las Vegas, is scheduled to graduate May 1, 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)
