Rct. Zelinda Zambrano, 18, Platoon 4034, Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, hands recruits rifle magazines during weapon issue July 25, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits received four magazines, one rifle cleaning kit, one rifle sling and an M16-A4 rifle during the initial weapon issue. For many recruits, it is their first time holding such a rifle. Zambrano is a native of San Leandro, Calif., and is scheduled to graduate Oct. 18, 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 for 50 percent of males and 100 percent for females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Lance Cpl. David Bessey)
