Rct. Matthew Watkins, Platoon 2036, Hotel Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, takes notes during a history class Feb. 27, 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 Marine Corps’ 238-year legacy sets an example for recruits and Marines. Watkins, a 19-year-old native of Harmonsburg, Pa., is scheduled to graduate May 9, 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)
