Perkins, a water survival instructor, June 29, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. Instructors, like Perkins, 28, from Chicago, spend extra time helping those who have difficulty swimming. Titus, 18, from Erie, Pa., is scheduled to graduate Aug. 28, 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)
