    Cpl. Alexander Nestor, a combat marksmanship coach, helps Rct. Joana Delossantos, Platoon 4035, Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, with her firing stance Sept. 18, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Combat marksmanship training gives recruits a basic understanding of practical shooting concepts such as engaging multiple enemies and moving targets. Nestor, 27, is from Fredericksburg, Va. Delossantos, 18, from La Puente, Calif., 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)
