Rct. Mark Owens, Platoon 3081, Kilo Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, marches during a close-order drill practice Sept. 2, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. The performance of the unit as a whole is judged by each recruit’s ability to complete a drill movement properly. Close-order drill enables a unit to move from one place to another in a standard, orderly manner and creates a sense of unit cohesion. Owens, 18, from Rockingham, N.C., is scheduled to graduate Oct. 30, 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)
