    Rct. Antonio Santini, Platoon 2002, Fox Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, takes notes during a Marine Corps history class Nov. 17, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits receive six history classes that range from the Marine Corps’ founding in 1775 to recent operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Recruits learn about major battles and conflicts as well as different warfare techniques to prepare them for their future as Marines. Santini, 19, from Bristol, Va., is scheduled to graduate Jan. 22, 2016. 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)
