Sgt. Benjamin C. Franklin III, an academic instructor with Support Battalion, prepares recruits of Hotel Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, and Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, before the recruits’ final written test Nov. 9, 2015, on Parris Island. The test randomizes 100 questions on subjects varying from core values to Marine Corps history and combat care. Franklin, 31, is from Tampa, Fla. Both companies are scheduled to graduate Nov. 20, 2015. Parris Island has been the site of Marine Corps recruit training since Nov. 1, 1915. Today, approximately 19,000 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)
