Recruits of November Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, do the flexed-arm hang portion of an initial strength test Sept. 16, 2016, on Parris Island, S.C. Female recruits must do a flexed-arm hang for at least 12 seconds in order to begin training. November Company 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 male recruits and 100 percent of female recruits in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Cpl. Vanessa Austin)
