    A U.S. Marine Corps recruit of Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, uses a protractor to find his next point during land navigation practice Sept. 18, 2017, on Parris Island, S.C. Marine recruits learn how to use a map and compass before testing their abilities on a land navigation course. Lima Company is scheduled to graduate Oct. 13, 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.
