    Rct. Emily E. Conley, left, and Rct. Imonee M. House, both with Platoon 4024, Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, use compasses to search for a specific set of coordinates during a practical application of land navigation June 29, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. This practical application exercise ensures recruits know how to navigate using only a map and compass. Conley, 25, from Carrollton, N.Y., and House, 19, from Ithaca, N.Y., are 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)
