    Staff Sgt. Robert J. Leshinsky, a Parris Island drillmaster, evaluates Platoon 3056, Mike Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, during a final drill evaluation Aug. 5, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. Drillmasters, experts on the Marine Corps Drill and Ceremonies Manual, grade each platoon and its drill instructor on their ability to perform close-order drill movements. Leshinsky, 29, is from Tonawanda, N.Y. Mike Company is scheduled to graduate Aug. 14, 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)
