U.S. Marine Corps recruits of Fox Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, begin their 25-meters swim Nov. 6, 2017, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits learn how to survive in water through a series of exercises, including a 25-meter swim, leaping from a 10-foot tower and quickly shedding combat equipment while underwater. Each exercise simulates a water survival technique recruits may need if they become Marines. Fox Company is scheduled to graduate Jan. 5, 2018. 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 male recruits and 100 percent of female recruits in the Marine Corps. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.
