Rct. Justin Stone, Platoon 3005, Mike Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, feels the effects of tear gas Nov. 27, 2013, after exiting the gas chamber on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits experienced respiratory irritation, watery eyes and a burning of the skin when exposed to tear gas, a nonlethal agent used to demonstrate the gas mask's ability to protect them in a biologically or chemically contaminated environment. Stone, 19, from Davenport, N.Y, 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)
