    A group of military recruits in camouflage uniforms stand in a line inside an indoor facility, appearing to shout or respond in unison. They have shaved heads and are holding what appear to be canteens or similar equipment. A figure wearing a campaign cover (drill instructor hat) is visible in the foreground right, facing the recruits.

    Recruits of Platoon 3037, Mike Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, respond to orders March 1, 2014, shortly after meeting their drill instructors on Parris Island, S.C. The recruits had just been told these men would be with them every day for the next 12 weeks and would be responsible for their transformation into Marines. Mike Company is scheduled to graduate May 23, 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)
