Drill instructors of Mike Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, check the seals on their recruits' gas masks Nov. 27, 2013, in the gas chamber on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits learn the gas masks can hold an air-tight seal despite vigorous activity. This training ensures recruits can use the masks and trust them to work in a chemically or biologically contaminated area. Mike Company is scheduled to graduate Jan. 17, 2014. 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)
