Tear gas is used during chemical warfare defense training in the gas chamber on Parris Island, S.C. The gas’s uncomfortable effects include respiratory irritation, a burning sensation on the skin and watery eyes. 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)
