Rct. Chelsea Roy, Platoon 4039, November Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, reviews her study card before firing during the combat marksmanship qualification Oct. 25, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. The study card showed Roy, a 20-year-old native of Monroe, La., the areas of the targets she needed to hit in order to qualify that day. Recruits fired a total of 50 rounds at close-range targets in a series of shooting drills as they progressed from the fundamentals of marksmanship taught a few weeks earlier. November Company is scheduled to graduate Nov. 15, 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)
