Drillmasters, experts on the Marine Corps Drill and Ceremonies Manual, grade recruits of Platoon 4037, Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, during their initial drill evaluation Sept. 9, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Drill cards contain the drill movements the unit leader and recruits must perform during the evaluation. Each platoon receives a grade based on their discipline, bearing and attention to detail. 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)
