    Some of the newest recruits of India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, rush off a bus and onto the yellow footprints on July 29, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits learn from the moment they step on the footprints that they are expected to move with speed and intensity and to respond to all commands loudly and confidently. 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)
