New Marines of India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, run under the “We Make Marines” sign during a traditional motivational run Oct. 24, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. This was the first chance for most families and friends to see their new Marine in more than 12 weeks and also the last run the company would have together before graduating. 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)
