Cpl. Aaron Medlin, a Marine field instructor, orders recruits to cross a log bridge on a combat training course Sept. 30, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Instructors like Medlin, 25, from Monroe, N.C., act as stressors as recruits maneuver through the combat simulation. Recruits learn during the ninth week of training basic field-related skills all Marines must know. These skills will be broadened after boot camp during follow-on training at Camp Lejeune, N.C. 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)
