Drill instructor Sgt. Donald Miller motivates Rct. Nevin Quinn, Platoon 1034, Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, to move faster while he and his fellow recruits fill out temporary nametags March 3, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. The recruits had only been on the island for less than half an hour, but the drill instructors demanded they quickly adapt to the fast-paced and strict nature of recruit training. Miller, 28, is from Nacogdoches, Texas. Quinn, a 19-year-old from Portsmouth, R.I., is scheduled to graduate May 30, 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. Octavia Davis)
