    Recruits of Kilo Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, rappel from a 47-foot tower Aug. 9, 2016, on Parris Island, S.C. This training mimics descending from a helicopter skid or a building using a rope and harness. Kilo Company is scheduled to graduate Sept. 30, 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 males and 100 percent of females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Cpl. Vanessa Austin)
