    Rct. J’Lynn B. Gordillo, Platoon 4011, November Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, practices swimming under the watchful eye of Water Survival Instructor Sgt. Brandon D. Schramm, Feb. 1, 2016, on Parris Island, S.C. Instructors, like Schramm, 26, from Douglas, Ga., spend extra time helping those who have difficulty swimming. Gordillo, 19, from Houston, Miss., 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 males and 100 percent of females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Sgt. Jennifer Schubert)
