U.S. Marine Corps Rct. Austin J. Riner, an 18-year-old native of Phil Campbell, Ala., swings underneath an obstacle during the Confidence Course at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C. Riner is with Platoon 3060, India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion and is scheduled to graduate Aug. 25, 2017. “I wanted to be part of something that can never be taken away from me,” said Riner. “I believe the Marine Corps will make me a better human being both in the civilian world and the Marine Corps.” 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 49 percent of male recruits and 100 percent of female recruits in the Marine Corps. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Joseph Jacob)
