Rct. Jonathon Swift, left, checks a map as Rct. Gabriel Perez, both with Platoon 2021, Fox Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, looks through his compass during land navigation training Feb. 10, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. This practical application training ensures the recruits can navigate foreign terrain using only a map and compass in case electronic navigation should fail them. Swift, a 20-year-old native of Toms River, N.J., and Perez, a 19-year-old native of Springfield, Mass., are scheduled to graduate March 7, 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 Lance Cpl. Vaniah Temple)
