Rct. Seamus Wibben, Platoon 2086, Fox Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, works to push past his mental and physical exhaustion on a combat training course Sept. 30, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits learn from day one that failure is not an option in the Marines Corps. 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. Wibben, 18, from Swanzey, N.H., 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 Cpl. Caitlin Brink)
