1st Sgt. Damian P. Wright speaks to recruits of Kilo Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, and Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, after an emblem ceremony Sept. 24, 2016, on Parris Island, S.C. After receiving their Eagle, Globe and Anchor emblems, new Marines gather around the Iwo Jima flag raising statue to remember and honor the Marines who came before them. Both companies are 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 49 percent of male recruits and 100 percent of female recruits in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Cpl. Vanessa Austin)
