Recruits of Bravo Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, test the seal on their gas masks while in the gas chamber Aug. 26, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. The recruits proved they learned the basics of biological and chemical warfare defense by properly using gas masks when exposed to tear gas. Bravo Company is scheduled to graduate Oct. 17, 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)
