    Pfc. Kevin Be, Platoon 3069, checks his rifle during Lima Company's battalion commander's inspection Sept. 4, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Be, 18, from North Olmsted, Ohio, spent hours cleaning and preparing his rifle and uniform for the scrutiny of the 3rd Recruit Training Battalion commander. New Marines must pass the battalion commander's inspection to graduate recruit training. Lima Company is scheduled to graduate Sept. 6, 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)
