    The image shows a military drill instructor in a tan shirt and campaign cover (Smokey Bear hat) with olive trousers overseeing recruits in a barracks bay. The recruits are wearing Marine Corps MARPAT camouflage uniforms and athletic shoes, standing at attention along a blue line on the floor while holding what appear to be canteens or similar items. This appears to be a US Marine Corps recruit training (boot camp) scene, likely at Parris Island or MCRD San Diego.

    Drill instructors of Platoon 3037, Mike Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, rush recruits to one side of the barracks March 1, 2014, shortly after taking responsibility for their training 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)
