    Cpl. Robert Vigil, a marksmanship coach, critiques Rct. Rachel Kinnell, Platoon 4033, November Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, on her firing position Aug. 28, 2013, on one of the rifle ranges of Parris Island, S.C. Vigil, a 23-year-old native of Brownsburg, Ind., explained to Kinnell, an 18-year-old native of Carlsbad, Calif., what she could do to improve her aim. Rifle qualification is a graduation requirement as well as an annual training requirement for Marines. November Company is scheduled to graduate Oct. 4, 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 of females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Lance Cpl. MaryAnn Hill)
