Recruits of Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, shake their heads to show they have properly put on their protective masks during chemical warfare training June 11, 2013, in the gas chamber on Parris Island, S.C. Marine Corps recruits participate in various exercises to demonstrate that the masks can retain an airtight seal in a wide range of motion. These exercises are meant to give recruits confidence in their abilities to use the mask while enduring the effects of a chemical agent. Papa Company is scheduled to graduate Aug. 2, 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)
