    U.S. Marine Corps recruits of Platoon 2081, Hotel Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, march during a final drill evaluation Oct. 25, 2017, on Parris Island, S.C. The strict, particular nature of close-order drill reinforces discipline and precision and fosters unit cohesion. Hotel Company is scheduled to graduate Nov. 3, 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.
