    A formation of U.S. Marines in desert MARPAT (digital camouflage) uniforms stands at attention inside a large indoor facility, likely a barracks or training building. The lead Marine carries a yellow guidon flag and holds a rifle, with a long column of similarly equipped Marines extending behind him. The scene appears to depict a formal inspection or muster formation.

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)
