Recruits of Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, practice their firing stance during combat marksmanship training Sept. 23, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. Combat marksmanship training gives recruits a basic understanding of practical shooting concepts, such as engaging moving targets and firing quickly at multiple enemies. This portion of training is held two weeks after their first trip to the rifle range. Papa Company is scheduled to graduate Oct. 16, 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. Aaron Bolser)
