    Drillmasters, experts on the Marine Corps Drill and Ceremonies Manual, inspect a platoon's alignment during the final drill evaluation of Delta Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, on Dec. 11, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. The drillmasters grade recruits on their bearing, discipline and confidence. Close-order drill is used as a means to instill discipline and build unit cohesion. 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)
