Rct. Ryan T. Littler, Platoon 3044, Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, shaves to prepare for his first official Marine Corps photo April 27, 2017, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits take time to ensure their grooming and uniforms meet Marine Corps standards before taking their first official Marine Corps photograph. Littler, 18, from Chillicothe, Ohio, is scheduled to graduate June 16, 2017. 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 Lance Cpl. Maximiliano Bavastro)
