    Field Training Instructor Cpl. Bryan C. Gardner assists a recruit of Hotel Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, to the side of the 47-foot-tall rappel tower June 16, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. Field training instructors, such as Gardner, 24, from Mendon, N.Y., ensure recruits safely and properly rappel down the tower. Hotel Company is scheduled to graduate Aug. 7, 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)
