    U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Sabrina Nieves, a drill instructor with Platoon 4034, Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, yells orders to recruits Aug. 1, 2017, on Parris Island, S.C. Drill instructors, like Nieves, 23, from Rockledge, Fla., are responsible for the accountability and safety of recruits. Oscar Company is scheduled to graduate Sept. 22, 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.
