    A group of young men are seated in what appears to be a classroom or auction hall, raising their hands or pens in the air. The central figure is a young man in a plaid shirt holding up what appears to be a pen or bidding paddle. The setting and gestures suggest this may be a bidding event, auction, or classroom participation activity.

    Rct. Caleb McClanahan, Platoon 3074, India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, begins in-processing after arriving July 14, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. With dedication and perseverance, McClanahan, 19, from Goodlettsville, Tenn., will be transformed during the next 13 weeks into a basic Marine, representing the epitome of personal character, selflessness and military virtue. 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)
