Rct. Matthew L. Gittens, Platoon 1064, Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, practices a bayonet technique during martial arts training June 11, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. This technique, part of the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program, is designed to defend against an aggressor using a bayonet attached to the rifle barrel. Gittens, 19, from Phenix City, Ala., is scheduled to graduate Aug. 28, 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)
