Drill Instructor Staff Sgt. Hiram Polito, with Platoon 1061, Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, calls a command during an initial drill evaluation June 20, 2016, on Parris Island, S.C. The strict, particular nature of close-order drill reinforces discipline and precision and fosters unit cohesion. Polito, 25, is from Brownsville, Texas. Alpha Company is scheduled to graduate August 12, 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 male recruits and 100 percent of female recruits in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Pfc. Carlin Warren)
