Timothy Benson, a drill instructor with Kilo Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, observes recruits of Kilo Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, during their marksmanship practice Nov. 28, 2017, on Parris Island, S.C.

Kilo Company is scheduled to graduate Jan. 12, 2018. Parris Island has been the site of Marine Corps recruit training since Nov. 1, 1915.

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.
