    Rct. Orlando L. Rodriguez Olavarria, Platoon 2006, Fox Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, asks a question Nov. 17, 2015, during a history class on Parris Island, S.C. Historical periods covered range from the Marine Corps’ founding in 1775 to recent operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Rodriguez Olavarria, 21, from Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico, 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)
