Rct. Samantha Madruga, 18, Platoon 4035, Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, waits to begin firing drills during combat marksmanship training Sept. 27, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Combat marksmanship training gives recruits a basic understanding of practical shooting concepts, such as engaging multiple enemies and moving targets. Madruga is a native of Kerman, Calif., and is scheduled to graduate Oct. 18, 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 Pfc. Vaniah Temple)
