    Recruits of Platoon 4021, Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, march together during a close-order drill session April 24, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Close-order drill is nearly an everyday activity for recruits and helps them develop teamwork and unit cohesion. Papa Company is scheduled to graduate June 20, 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)
