Tear gas is a nonlethal agent that causes irritation to the skin, watery eyes and respiratory irritation. Recruits of Delta Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, underwent chemical and biological warfare defense training Oct. 29, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C., to ensure they are comfortable and confident with using their gas masks in a contaminated environment. Delta Company is scheduled to graduate Dec. 20, 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)
