    Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island           

    U.S. Marine Corps drill instructor Sgt. Antonio L. Aranda yells orders at recruits of Kilo Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, to put on their masks before entering the gas chamber July 25, 2017, on Parris Island, S.C. Drill instructors, like Aranda, 26, from Chicago, are responsible for the accountability of recruits and ensuring recruits are where they’re supposed to be when they’re supposed to be there. Kilo Company is scheduled to graduate Sept. 15, 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 13 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.
