    Recruits of Platoon 3010, Kilo Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, prepare to clean their barracks Dec. 11, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. From the moment they jump out of bed at 4 a.m., recruits spent the first hour getting dressed, preparing equipment, cleaning their barracks, and finally, eating a nutritious breakfast. Kilo Company is scheduled to graduate Feb. 27, 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)
