    Sgt. Heather Lewis, a drill instructor for Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, observes her recruits as they prepare for one of the 15 Confidence Course obstacles March 19, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Drill instructors like Lewis, a 26-year-old from Asheville, N.C., supervise recruits as they attempt each obstacle. Oscar Company is scheduled to graduate April 4, 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 Lance Cpl. Vaniah Temple)
