    Drill Instructor Sgt. Raymond S. Adams Jr., with Platoon 1064, Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, encourages a recruit to move faster during martial arts training June 11, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. The Marine Corps Martial Arts Program is designed to increase the warfighting capabilities of individual Marines and units, enhance Marines’ self-confidence and esprit de corps and foster the warrior ethos in all Marines.

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)
