Sgt. Amy Blea, 25, currently serves as a Marine Corps drill instructor with Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C. Blea joined the Marine Corps in August 2007 and became a drill instructor in September 2012. “I became a drill instructor because I felt like it was an opportunity for me to give back to the Marine Corps everything it has given to me. My favorite part of being a drill instructor is the impact we get to make on the kids … giving them the opportunity to be successful,” said Blea, a Chicago native. About 600 Marine Corps drill instructors shape the approximately 20,000 recruits who come to Parris Island annually into basic United States Marines. Parris Island is home to entry-level enlisted training for 50 percent of males and 100 percent for females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Cpl. Caitlin Brink)
