    A large group of military recruits in camouflage uniforms and olive drab t-shirts are engaged in a synchronized physical training exercise, shouting in unison. Their uniforms and boots show visible mud and dirt, indicating they have completed or are undergoing a physically demanding outdoor training event. The setting appears to be a wooded military training area with sandy ground.

    Recruits of India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, run in place during an incentive training session Sept. 16, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Drill instructors use incentive training to help instill discipline, defined as the instant and willing obedience to all orders, respect for authority and self-reliance, which is a key trait drill instructors must instill in recruits. 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)
