Sgt. Domenick Distano, senior drill instructor of Platoon 3000, Mike Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, asks his recruits Jan. 9, 2014, about their experiences over the past 12 weeks on Parris Island, S.C. During the Crucible, drill instructors like Distano, 27, from Branchburg, N.J., sit down with their recruits as mentors and answer questions. 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)
