Recruits of Bravo Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, take a break from their six-mile hike to rest and hydrate July 15, 2017, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits are given an opportunity to take off their packs and take care of their bodies to prevent injuries every few miles. Bravo Company is scheduled to graduate Sept. 1, 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.
