A U.S. Marine Corps recruit of Kilo Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, breaks the seal of his gas mask July 25, 2017, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits experience the gas’s effects, which include temporary respiratory irritation, watery eyes and a burning sensation on the skin when exposed to the gas in the chamber. 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.
