Senior Drill Instructor Gunnery Sgt. Christopher S. Miles, Platoon 3052, Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, encourages his recruits to push themselves through an incentive training session May 5, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. Discipline, defined as the instant and willing obedience to all orders, respect for authority and self-reliance, is a key trait drill instructors, like Miles, 33, from Lily, Ky., must instill in recruits. Lima Company is scheduled to graduate July 24, 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)
