Rct. Ashley J. Frye, Platoon 4037, Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, leaps off the 47-foot rappel tower Sept. 15, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. Rappel training simulates jumping from a helicopter or descending the side of a building or cliff. Frye, 18, from Ekalaka, Mont., is scheduled to graduate Nov. 6, 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 approximately 50 percent of males and 100 percent of females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Lance Cpl. Vanessa Austin)
