Rct. Erick Ward, Platoon 2086, Fox Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, swings through a Confidence Course obstacle Aug. 19, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. The Confidence Course was designed in the mid-1960s to help Marine Corps recruits build self-confidence by overcoming physical and mental challenges. Ward, an 18-year-old native of Holland Patent, N.Y., is 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)
