A Hotel Company drill instructor commands recruit Robert H. Jones Jr., Platoon 2021, Hotel Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, to execute rifle techniques during martial arts training Jan. 25, 2016, on Parris Island, S.C. These techniques are part of the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program, which is designed to combine hand-to-hand combat skills from various martial arts and fuse them with character development, helping transform recruits into physically strong, morally sound Marines. Jones, 21, from Cleveland, is scheduled to graduate April 1, 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 male recruits and 100 percent of female recruits in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Lance Cpl. Aaron Bolser)
