A U.S. Marine Corps senior drill instructor closes the iconic silver doors after recruits passed through moments prior July 10, 2017, on Parris Island, S.C. Passing through these doors signifies the transition from civilians into Marine Corps recruits and the beginning of the 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.
