    A military instructor or drill sergeant in desert MARPAT camouflage uniform addresses a large formation of recruits or trainees standing at attention in an outdoor wooded area. The instructor appears to be speaking emphatically, with a raised fist gesture, while the recruits are dressed in olive green t-shirts and trousers. The setting and uniforms are consistent with U.S. Marine Corps recruit training.

    Staff Sgt. Michael Croft, a chief drill instructor for India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, explains to his recruits why they endured 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, such as Croft, 27, from Factoryville, Pa., 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)
