    A line of U.S. Marines in desert MARPAT camouflage uniforms stand at attention inside a building, each holding their covers (caps) in front of them. The recruits or junior Marines appear to be in a formal formation, possibly during a processing or administrative event. The setting appears to be a military installation building with brick walls and large windows.

    Recruits of Fox Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, wait to receive their first high-and-tight haircut June 24, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. The recruits spent 11 weeks on the island sporting bald heads; however, less than a week stood between them and finally earning the title Marine, and the recruits earned the privilege of looking more the part. Fox Company is scheduled to graduate July 3, 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)
