    Recruits of Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, determine their walking pace Sept. 16, 2013, during land navigation training on Parris Island, S.C. Each recruit counted how many steps he took to walk 100 meters in order for each to track distance. Alpha Company is scheduled to graduate Oct. 11, 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 Lance Cpl. MaryAnn Hill)

    A group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms are gathered at a 'START PACE' marker in a wooded outdoor training area. The soldiers are equipped with rifles, field gear, and appear to be holding maps or documents, suggesting a land navigation or pace count training exercise. The sign is a red painted wooden board with yellow stenciled lettering mounted on a post.
    Two military personnel in MARPAT woodland camouflage uniforms are walking past a red 'STOP PACE' sign in a forested training area. One individual is carrying a clear plastic binder/clipboard with documents, and both are armed with rifles. The setting appears to be a military land navigation or field training exercise course.
    Two military personnel in MARPAT (Marine pattern) camouflage uniforms are reviewing a map or document on a clipboard outdoors. The foreground individual is wearing glasses and holding what appears to be a compass while consulting the document. A third service member is partially visible in the background.
    A U.S. military service member in MARPAT digital camouflage uniform is holding a Cammenga Model 3H magnetic lensatic compass up to eye level, appearing to take a bearing or sighting. The back of the compass is facing the camera, clearly showing the manufacturer markings, NSN number, and 'U.S.' designation. The setting appears to be an outdoor wooded environment.
    Two young military personnel wearing MARPAT (Marine pattern) camouflage uniforms are standing on a wooded trail covered with fallen leaves. They appear to be engaged in a field training exercise, with one individual gesturing with raised hands, possibly giving or receiving instructions. The setting is a pine forest with dappled sunlight filtering through the canopy.
    Two military personnel in digital camouflage uniforms are standing in a wooded area, reviewing a document or map on a clipboard. Both individuals are viewed from behind and are wearing matching MARPAT (Marine pattern) camouflage uniforms and caps. The setting appears to be a training exercise or field navigation activity in a forested environment.
    A person in camouflage military uniform is holding a clipboard with a white sheet of paper containing handwritten navigation or range data in green marker. The document appears to be a military land navigation or range card labeled 'Card #103' with columns for bearing/azimuth (GA, MA) and distance (DIST) measurements. The setting is an outdoor wooded/forested training area.
