    New U.S. Marine Corps recruits of Golf Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, and Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, prepare to walk through Parris Island’s iconic silver doors July 10, 2017. Passing through these doors signifies the transition from civilian into Marine Corps recruit and the beginning of their journey to become a Marine. Both companies are scheduled to graduate Oct. 6, 2017. 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. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.
