    Field Training Instructor Sgt. Brent A. Culver assists Rct. Keyara J. Joseph, Platoon 4036, Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, to the side of the 47-foot-tall rappel tower Sept. 15, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. Field training instructors, such as Culver, 26, from Chattanooga, Tenn., ensure recruits properly and safely rappel down the tower. Joseph, 18, from New Orleans, is scheduled to graduate Nov. 6, 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)
