    U.S. Marine Corps Pfc. Branden K. Kalama and Pfc. Kaylynn K. Kalama stand with retired Gunnery Sgt. Todd A. McAlister in front of the Iwo Jima memorial Jan. 5, 2018, on Parris Island, S.C. The Kalama siblings, both 18, from Hamilton, Ohio, accredit their success during Marine Corps recruit training to McAlister, 54, from Muncie, Ind. and his support in NJROTC. 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. (Photo courtesy of Leeann B. Kalama)
