A drill instructor for Kilo Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, asks recruits their weight before beginning a body sparring match July 21, 2017, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits fight against someone within 10 pounds of their weight, making for an evenly matched fight. Kilo Company is scheduled to graduate Sept. 15, 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 49 percent of male recruits and 100 percent of female recruits in the Marine Corps. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.
