Rct. Alexander S. McArthur, Platoon 1101, Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, makes a quick pre-scripted call notifying his next-of-kin of his safe arrival to training Sept. 14, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. The first night comes as a shock for most recruits as they deal with stress, sleep deprivation, new rules and constant supervision of drill instructors. McArthur, 18, from Lebanon, Pa., 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)
