Recruits of Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, march during their introduction to close-order drill March 11, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. The recruits spent nearly an hour learning basic drill movements, something they will practice almost every day throughout training. Close-order drill is a cornerstone of teaching teamwork and discipline during recruit training, and it will play an integral role in merging the recruits into a cohesive unit. Alpha Company 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)
