    Rct. Franciel Duran blocks a strike from Rct. Michael Penkower, both with Platoon 1094, Delta Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, as part of a Marine Corps Martial Arts Program endurance course Oct. 2, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits practiced previously learned techniques against one another, testing their newfound self-defense skills on live opponents. Duran, 19, from Philadelphia, and Penkower, 18, from Morganville, N.J., are scheduled to graduate Dec. 5, 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)
