Sgt. Daniel Reilly, a primary marksmanship instructor with Weapons and Field Training Battalion, adjusts a recruit's scope during marksmanship training Oct. 3, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Reilly, a 27-year-old native of Philadelphia, trained recruits for five days on the fundamentals of rifle marksmanship, shooting techniques and rifle range commands in preparation for firing live rounds the following week. Recruits train with scopes because the Marine Corps now equips all its rifles with scopes, and rifle marksmanship fundamentals remain the same. Fox Company is scheduled to graduate Nov. 15, 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 Pfc. Vaniah Temple)
