Sgt. John Eversley II, a drill instructor for Platoon 1053, Charlie Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, quiets his recruits before they enter the gas chamber during chemical warfare defense training June 3, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits are exposed to tear gas, a nonlethal agent used to simulate the stresses of a chemically contaminated environment. Recruits had to properly put on the mask, reseal it and clear it of gas to successfully complete the training, demonstrating they can perform the procedures under stress. Charlie Company is scheduled to graduate July 25, 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)
