Rct. Katherine Adams, right, 18, shows Rct. Emiri Roussell, 19, both with Platoon 4034, Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, how to properly hold her rifle during weapons 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. Adams is a native of Savannah, Ga., and Roussell is a New Orleans native. Both are 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)
