Rct. Charlie Sykes, left, and Rct. Stephen Schmitt, both with Platoon 1061, Charlie Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, look for their next destination during land navigation training July 29, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits like Sykes, a 21-year-old native of Coahoma, Miss., and Schmitt, a 21-year-old Pittsburgh native, learned land navigation skills in case modern technology ever fails. Charlie Company is scheduled to graduate Aug. 23, 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. MaryAnn Hill)
