Rct. Brittany Stewart Sharp assists Rct. Eunice Shim with pullups during a physical training session Nov. 26, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Stewart Sharp and Shim, both with Platoon 4003, November Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, completed three maximum-effort sets of pullups. Recruits endure many different kinds of physical training sessions throughout their transformation into U.S. Marines in order to meet the high physical fitness standards of the Corps. Stewart Sharp, an 18-year-old native of Fairview Heights, Ill., and Shim, a 21-year-old native of Dover, Del., are scheduled to graduate Jan. 24, 2014. 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)
