    The image shows a stack of books or notebooks covered in MARPAT (Marine Corps digital camouflage) fabric, with numerous dark metal Eagle Globe and Anchor (EGA) emblems — the official insignia of the United States Marine Corps — arranged across the top surface. The emblems appear to be laid out in preparation for a military ceremony, likely a Marine Corps graduation or promotion event. Multiple stacked items suggest a batch preparation for distributing the insignia to multiple recipients.

    During an emblem ceremony Nov. 19, 2014, recruits of Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, earned their Eagle, Globe and Anchor emblems and shook hands with the drill instructors who led them on the journey to earn the title Marine on Parris Island, S.C. Only those imbued with the Corps’ core values can earn the title Marine. Lima Company is scheduled to graduate Nov. 26, 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)
