    Recruits of Platoon 3017, Kilo Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, respond to orders from their drill instructor Jan. 14, 2014, during close-order drill practice on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits practice drill, which teaches discipline by instilling habits of precision and immediate response to orders, multiple times a day. Kilo Company is scheduled to graduate March 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)
