    Recruits of Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, watch Sgt. Patricia Aliff, a drill instructor for Platoon 4012, demonstrate a Confidence Course obstacle Feb. 19, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits were shown proper technique for completing each of the course’s 15 obstacles designed to test their strength and build their self-confidence. Aliff, 28, is from Harrisonburg, Va. Papa Company is scheduled to graduate April 25, 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)
