U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Richard Hibble, a senior drill instructor with Recruit Processing Company, Support Battalion, orders new recruits of Echo Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, to walk through the silver doors May 22, 2017, on Parris Island, S.C. Senior drill instructors, like Hibble, 28, from Kenilworth, N.J., are responsible for the well-being of new recruits before they start training with their company drill instructors. Echo Company is scheduled to graduate Aug. 18, 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. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.
