Rct. Corbin Tyler, Platoon 3050, India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, carries ammunition cans as he nears the end of a combat fitness test June 18, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. This portion of the test is a timed 300-yard shuttle run in which recruits perform various exercises including sprinting, crawling, carrying a partner and running with ammunition cans. The test is a graduation requirement as well as an annual training event for all Marines. Tyler, 19, from Dover, N.H., is scheduled to graduate July 3, 2013. Parris Island has been the site of Marine Corps recruit training since Nov. 1, 1915. Today, approximately 20,000 recruits come to Parris Island annually for the chance to become United States Marines by enduring 13 weeks of rigorous, transformative training. Parris Island is home to entry-level enlisted training for 50 percent of males and 100 percent for females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Lance Cpl. Caitlin Brink)
