Recruits of India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, rinse gas masks April 22, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Chemical and biological warfare defense training ensures recruits know how to protect themselves and operate in a contaminated environment by properly using a gas mask. They are exposed to tear gas, a nonlethal agent that causes a temporary watering of the eyes, respiratory system irritation and a burning sensation on the skin, to simulate a chemically or biologically contaminated environment. India Company is scheduled to graduate June 13, 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. MaryAnn Hill)
