Recruits of India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, prepare to step through the silver doors of the receiving building on Parris Island, S.C., on July 29, 2013. Stepping through the doors symbolizes the transition from civilians to recruits and the beginning of their transformation into United States Marines. India Company is scheduled to graduate Oct. 25, 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 Cpl. Caitlin Brink)
