A recruit of Fox Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, uses his rifle to hold up barbed wire on a combat training course Sept. 30, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. 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. Fox Company 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)
