Rct. Rachel Kinnell, Platoon 4033, November Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, checks to make sure her weapon is loaded Aug. 28, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits such as Kinnell, an 18-year-old native of Carlsbad, Calif., learned and practiced different shooting techniques for a week before firing a single bullet. 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)
