Rct. Breanna Balcuns, Platoon 4019, Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, writes a letter during free time May 1, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits receive one hour of free time each day, which is restricted to inside the barracks, to read and write letters, unwind and prepare their equipment for the next day. Recruits do not train during free time in order to give them a break from the close, constant association with their drill instructors. Balcuns, a 20-year-old native of St. Helens, Ore., is scheduled to graduate June 6, 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 Lance Cpl. Vaniah Temple)
