    Recruits of Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, descend the 47-foot rappel tower Feb. 10, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. Rappel training mimics descending from a helicopter skid or a building using a rope and harness. Lima Company is scheduled to graduate April 3, 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. Jennifer Schubert)
