Staff Sgt. Latoya Carty, senior drill instructor of Platoon 4034, Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, orders recruits to slide down a rope on a Confidence Course obstacle Aug. 6, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. The obstacle requires recruits to slide down a rope in three different positions without falling into the pond beneath. The course is comprised of 15 obstacles designed to help Marine Corps recruits build confidence by overcoming physical challenges. Carty, 29, is from Greensboro, N.C. Papa Company is scheduled to graduate Oct. 10, 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. Jennifer Schubert)
