    Drill Instructor Staff Sgt. Ricky L. Lara Jr., Platoon 3065, India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, reports to the drillmaster during an initial drill evaluation July 20, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. Drillmasters, experts on the Marine Corps Drill and Ceremonies Manual, grade the drill instructors and recruits on a series of precision drill movements. Lara, 34, is from Austin, Texas. India Company is scheduled to graduate Sept. 11, 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 approximately 50 percent of males and 100 percent of females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Lance Cpl. Vanessa Austin)
