    Drill instructors lead new recruits of Kilo Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, through their first night of Marine Corps recruit training Aug. 26, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. The first stressful night comes as a shock for most as they deal with sleep deprivation, new rules and ferocious drill instructors. Kilo Company is scheduled to graduate Nov. 22, 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)
