U.S. Marine Corps recruits of India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, duel during simulated combat Sept. 18, 2017, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits fight using pugil sticks, which represent rifles with fixed bayonets, to replicate a close encounter with an enemy. India Company is scheduled to graduate Dec. 1, 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 49 percent of males and 100 percent of females in the Marine Corps. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Joseph Jacob)
