Recruits of Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, improve their upper body strength during combat conditioning July 16, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits hoisted themselves up a rope before slowly lowering themselves back to the ground. Combat conditioning sessions such as these are meant to strengthen recruits to meet the Marine Corps’ high physical fitness standards. Alpha Company is scheduled to graduate Sept. 19, 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)
