    Drill instructors Sgt. Annasharon Baudet, left, and Staff Sgt. Charlotte Edwardson encourage Rct. Melanie Wolf to respond shortly after arriving July 14, 2014, at Parris Island, S.C. Recruits learn from the moment they step on the yellow footprints that they are expected to move with speed and intensity and to respond to all commands loudly and confidently. Baudet, 34, is from Fairfax, Va., and Edwardson, 30, is from Gainesville, Fla. Wolf, 19, from Chicago, is scheduled to graduate with Platoon 4034, Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, on 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)
