    Recruits of Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, take notes during a history class Jan. 17, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits learn Marine Corps history from its founding in 1775 to its recent operations to prepare them for their future as Marines. The history of the Marine Corps’ legacy and values sets an example for recruits and Marines. Oscar Company is scheduled to graduate April 4, 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. (Photos by Lance Cpl. Vaniah Temple)
