Izell Badger, Platoon 3078, India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, to run faster during a physical training session Sept. 10, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C.

Fierimonte, 32, is from Westwood, Mass. India Company is scheduled to graduate Oct. 10, 2014. Parris Island has been the site of Marine Corps recruit training since Nov. 1, 1915.

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)
