A recruit of Charlie Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, breaks the seal on his gas mask during chemical warfare defense training June 3, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. While inside the gas chamber, recruits had to break the airtight seal on their masks, reseal it and clear it of tear 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)
