The newest recruits of Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, stand on the famous yellow footprints Sept. 14, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. If successful in training, these recruits will be transformed during the following 13 weeks into basic Marines, representing the epitome of personal character, selflessness and military virtue. Alpha Company is scheduled to graduate Dec. 11, 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. Aaron Bolser)
