    A uniformed Marine drill instructor walks between two rows of recruits inside what appears to be a military training facility. The recruits are dressed in olive green shorts and t-shirts, wearing flip-flops, and are extending their arms outward while holding items such as clothing or gear. This appears to be a standard Marine Corps recruit training inspection or gear accountability drill.

    Staff Sgt. Michael Zacniewski II, a drill instructor for Platoon 3009, India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, orders recruits to show they have bags containing their personal identification and other important items Dec. 10, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. All gear must be accounted for at the end of each day, from the recruits' rifles to their canteens. Zacniewski, 32, is from Philadelphia. India Company is scheduled to graduate Feb. 14, 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 Cpl. Caitlin Brink)
