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)
