    Drill Instructor Staff Sgt. Matthew S. Cheasty, Platoon 3049, Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, reads a drill card for his next command during an initial drill evaluation June 1, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. Drill cards list the sequence of commands and are mandatory during the evaluation. The cards are considered part of the uniform and part of a drill movement when read. Cheasty, 31, is from Buffalo, N.Y. Lima Company is scheduled to graduate July 24, 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 Pfc. Vanessa Austin)
