Sgt. Ana Beaudet, a drill instructor for Platoon 4037, Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, checks her platoon before issuing the next command during their initial drill evaluation Sept. 9, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Drillmasters, experts on the Marine Corps Drill and Ceremonies Manual, graded Beaudet, 33, from Fairfax, Va., based on her ability to perform and command the drill movements. Papa Company is scheduled to graduate Nov. 1, 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 Cpl. Caitlin Brink)
