    A group of female military recruits or trainees are marching in formation on a grass field, wearing olive green PT (physical training) uniforms with yellow/neon reflective safety vests crossed over their chests. Each recruit is carrying a military-style canteen held against their body. The setting appears to be a military base or training facility, with a multi-story barracks building visible in the background during early morning or evening light.

    Recruits of Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, cool down after a demanding physical fitness session July 9, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Beginning their second week on the island, recruits participate in more than 30 physical fitness sessions meant to help them meet the Marine Corps’ high fitness standards. Papa Company is scheduled to graduate Aug. 8, 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. Caitlin Brink)
