    Rct. Trever D. Maxwell, Platoon 3098, India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, does pull-ups during an initial strength test Sept. 16, 2016, on Parris Island, S.C. Male recruits must do at least two pull-ups in order to begin training. Maxwell, 18, from Manchester, Tenn., is scheduled to graduate Dec. 9, 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 Lance Cpl. Aaron Bolser)
