Thomas Lagno, a martial arts instructor with Support Battalion, demonstrates to recruits of Golf Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, body sparring techniques before they begin bouts against fellow recruits Jan. 26, 2018, on Parris Island, S.C. During pugil sticks and body sparring, martial arts instructors, like Lagno, 26, from Butler, N.J., supervise the bouts ensuring they are conducted safely. Golf Company is scheduled to graduate Feb. 2, 2018. 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 Cpl. Joseph Jacob)
