Recruits of Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, rappel from a 47-foot tower Jan. 12, 2016, on Parris Island, S.C. Rappel training simulates jumping from a helicopter or descending the side of a building or cliff. Lima Company is scheduled to graduate March 4, 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)
