    Rct. David Gray, Platoon 1081, Bravo Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, applies first aid to a simulated casualty Oct. 18, 2013, during his practical application testing on Parris Island, S.C. This test was part of Gray's final written testing, one of the last graduation requirements before beginning the 54-hour culminating event of training, the Crucible. Gray, a 19-year-old native of Williamsburg, Va., 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)
