Pfc. Katie S. Cormier, Platoon 4018, November Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, is overwhelmed with emotion May 20, 2015, after earning her Eagle, Globe and Anchor and the title Marine on Parris Island, S.C. The emblem is earned only by those who are imbued with the Corps’ core values and have proven themselves worthy of belonging to the few and the proud. Cormier, 18, from Huffman, Texas, is scheduled to graduate May 29, 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)
