Sgt. Francesco Franzese Jr., a drill instructor for Platoon 3037, Mike Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, encourages Rct. Charles Coffran, Platoon 3034, to overcome his physical exhaustion March 11, 2014, during a physical fitness session on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits performed various exercises meant to strengthen each of the main muscle groups. Beginning their second week on the island, recruits participate in more than 30 physical fitness sessions meant to help them meet the Marine Corps’ high fitness standards. Franzese, 24, is from Brodheadsville, Pa. Coffran, 20, from Raynham, Mass., is scheduled to graduate May 23, 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)
