    Drill Instructor Staff Sgt. Heather Lewis, Platoon 4012, Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, issues commands to her recruits during an incentive training session Jan. 26, 2016. Drill instructors, like Lewis, a 28-year-old native of Asheville, N.C., use incentive training to correct minor disciplinary infractions. Oscar Company is scheduled to graduate April 15, 2016. Parris Island has been the site of Marine Corps recruit training since Nov. 1, 1915. Today, approximately 19,000 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 male recruits and 100 percent of female recruits in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Staff Sgt. Greg Thomas)
