A recruit of Golf Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, breaks the seal on his gas mask May 10, 2016, on Parris Island, S.C. By breaking the seal, recruits experience the gas’s effects, which include temporary respiratory irritation, watery eyes and a burning sensation on the skin. Golf Company is scheduled to graduate July 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 12 weeks of rigorous, transformative training. Parris Island is home to entry-level enlisted training for approximately 49 percent of males and 100 percent of females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Cpl. Vanessa Austin)
