Recruits of India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, wait to have the back of their uniform coats pinned shut before having their boot camp photos taken Sept. 5, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Modified dress coats are used for the photos as they are easier to adjust to each recruits' frame. India Company is scheduled to graduate Oct. 25, 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)
