    Sgt. Jeffrey Lovelace, a drill instructor for Platoon 1034, Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, encourages his recruits to move quickly shortly after waking up April 9, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits are expected to move with speed and intensity from the moment the lights come on at 4 a.m. Lovelace, 27, is from Fairmont, Neb. 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)
