Drill instructor Sgt. Donald Miller looks at the soon-to-be recruits of Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, from inside the receiving building March 3, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. The recruits would momentarily pass through the building’s silver doors where Miller, a 28-year-old from Nacogdoches, Texas, and his fellow drill instructors waited to greet them. Alpha Company is scheduled to graduate May 30, 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. Octavia Davis)
