    Two uniformed personnel wearing distinctive wide-brimmed campaign hats and tan shirts are visible in what appears to be an indoor facility with glass doors. The foreground figure is photographed from behind, showing a shoulder patch and olive/khaki uniform consistent with military drill instructor or park ranger attire. A second similarly uniformed individual stands near the glass entrance doors in the background.

    Drill instructors wait at the receiving building doors to welcome the newest recruits of India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, and Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, on July 14, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. The first night comes as a shock for most recruits as they deal with stress, sleep deprivation, new rules and ferocious drill instructors. Both companies are 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)
