    Rct. Kyle Mange, left, and Rct. Anthony Direse, Fox Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, climb a Confidence Course obstacle Aug. 19, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. The Confidence Course is comprised of 15 obstacles designed to help Marine Corps recruits build self-confidence by overcoming physical and mental challenges. Mange, a 19-year-old native of Clyde, Ohio, with Platoon 2086, and Direse, an 18-year-old native of Point Pleasant, N.J., with Platoon 2084, are scheduled to graduate Oct. 24, 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)
