    Gunnery Sgt. David Rubio, a chief drill instructor with Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, tells recruits the path they will sprint before they begin an obstacle course Nov. 6, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. The recruits sprinted 800 meters before tackling the course, designed to improve their balance, coordination and physical strength. Rubio, 32, is a native of Dallas. Lima Company is scheduled to graduate Dec. 13, 2013. 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)
