Rct. Zachary Garner, Platoon 1080, Bravo Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, completes the general military subjects portion of his practical application test Oct. 18, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. This portion of final testing, one of eight graduation requirements, tested recruits such as Garner, an 18-year-old native of Loudon, Tenn., on their land navigation skills, general military knowledge, casualty care and hand and arm signals. Bravo Company is scheduled to graduate Nov. 1, 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 for females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Lance Cpl. MaryAnn Hill)
