Rct. Derrick R. Boswell, Platoon 1072, Bravo Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, practices swimming under the watchful eye of Sgt. Jeremy R. Perkins, a water survival instructor, July 20, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. Instructors, like Perkins, 28, from Chicago, spend extra time helping those who have difficulty swimming. Boswell, 18, from Lithonia, Ga., is scheduled to graduate Sept. 18, 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 Sgt. Jennifer Schubert)
