Sgt. Fran Rosabal, a drill instructor with Platoon 3092, Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, roams the squad bay correcting deficiencies Sept. 6, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. The recruits of Platoon 3092 had just learned Rosabal, 27, from Jersey City, N.J., would be one of the drill instructors responsible for molding them into Marines over the next 12 weeks. Lima Company is scheduled to graduate Nov. 26, 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)
