U.S. Marine Corps 1st Lt. Sarah B. Snody, a series commander of November Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, inspects a Marine’s rifle Aug. 22, 2017, on Parris Island, S.C. Formal inspections held by sergeants and officers, like Snody, 30, from Alton, Ill., ensure Marines have properly fitted uniforms as well as possess attention to detail, bearing, confidence and discipline. Oscar Company is scheduled to graduate Aug. 25, 2017. Parris Island has been the site of Marine Corps recruit training since Nov. 1, 1915. Today, approximately 20,000 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.
