    Rct. Tyler McClellan, Platoon 3009, India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, leads his team through a combat training course Jan. 24, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. The course is part of Basic Warrior Training and develops recruits’ newly learned basic combat skills such as tactical communication and movement. The basic combat training recruits receive while on Parris Island will be broadened after boot camp at advanced training in Camp Lejeune, N.C. McClellan, 21, from Blountstown, Fla., 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)
