    A large group of young men are lined up along a row of payphones or institutional telephones mounted on a wall, with many actively making calls. The setting appears to be an institutional corridor, possibly a military base, correctional facility, or similar institution. The crowded hallway and shared phone bank suggest a structured, communal environment where phone access is limited and shared.

    New recruits of India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, make phone calls shortly after arriving for training July 14, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. These pre-scripted calls are made to notify their next-of-kin of their safe arrival to training. India Company is scheduled to graduate Oct. 10, 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)
