Rct. Samuel Troyer, left, and Rct. Andre Sims, both with Platoon 1068, Delta Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, rappel down the 47-foot tower July 23, 2013, at the combat training area on Parris Island, S.C. This training was designed to instill confidence in recruits. Sims, an 18-year-old native of Memphis, Tenn., and Troyer, an 18-year-old native of Apple Creek, Ohio, are scheduled to graduate Sept. 13, 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)
