    Sgt. Erick Tamayo currently serves as a Marine Corps drill instructor with Bravo Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C. Tamayo joined the Marine Corps in November 2006 and became a drill instructor in March 2014. “I became a drill instructor because I wanted to make an impact on myself and recruits,” said Tamayo, a 30-year-old Honolulu native. About 600 Marine Corps drill instructors shape the approximately 20,000 recruits who come to Parris Island annually into basic United States Marines. 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. David Bessey)
