Rct. Creighton D. Crenshaw Jr., Platoon 1081, Delta Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, writes a letter during his free time Aug. 15, 2016, on Parris Island, S.C. Each day, recruits receive one hour of free time, which is restricted to inside the barracks, to read and write letters, unwind and prepare equipment for the next day. Crenshaw, 18, from Detroit, is scheduled to graduate Oct. 28, 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 12 weeks of rigorous, transformative training. Parris Island is home to entry-level enlisted training for approximately 49 percent of male recruits and 100 percent of female recruits in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Pfc. Maximiliano Bavastro)
