Drill Instructor Staff Sgt. Travis Barnes, Platoon 1014, Bravo Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, calls cadence to his recruits during an initial drill evaluation Dec. 8, 2014, on Parris Island S.C. Drill instructors call cadence so recruits march in step with one another while keeping the same pace. Drillmasters, experts on the Marine Corps Drill and Ceremonies manual, graded Barnes, 29, from Twentynine Palms, Calif., on his military appearance and his ability to command his platoon. Bravo Company is scheduled to graduate Jan. 30, 2015. 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 Sgt. Caitlin Brink)
