    Recruits of Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, break the airtight seal on their protective masks in Parris Island’s gas chamber June 11, 2013. Marine Corps recruits receive chemical warfare defense training to ensure they know how to properly use the masks in case of a chemical attack. 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)
