Rct. Tyrell Watson, 19, Platoon 2048, Echo Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, reads scripture during an hour of free time June 16, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Watson, a native of Hundred, W.Va., has drawn inspiration from a photo of a friend back home throughout recruit training. The one hour of free time is only spent inside the barracks and is intended to be a relief period from the training day's 15 hours of close supervision and interaction between recruits and drill instructors. Echo Company is scheduled to graduate June 28, 2013. 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 50 percent of males and 100 percent females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Lance Cpl. David Bessey)
