Rct. Jenna Sullivan, Platoon 4036, strikes Rct. Kiana Bowe, Platoon 4037, during a pugil stick match Aug. 21, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits fight with pugil sticks, which represent rifles with attached bayonets, to simulate a close encounter with an enemy. Recruits fought in two 15-second matches. Sullivan, 19, from Tulsa, Okla., and Bowe, 18, from Sandwich, Mass., are scheduled to graduate with Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, on Nov. 1, 2013. 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)
