Staff Sgt. Fredy Herrera, senior drill instructor of Platoon 1042, Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, leads his platoon during their final drill evaluation June 5, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Four drillmasters, experts on the Marine Corps Drill and Ceremonies Manual, graded Herrera, a 36-year-old native of Richmond, Calif., on his ability to issue commands and perform drill movements during the evaluation. Alpha Company is scheduled to graduate June 14, 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. MaryAnn Hill)
