Rct. Tyler Hildreth, Platoon 3066, Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, prepares to battle an opponent during pugil stick training June 24, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Pugil sticks simulate rifles with fixed bayonets. Bayonet training, along with other hand-to-hand fighting skills, is encompassed in the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program, which contributes to the mental, character and physical development of Marines. Hildreth, 23, from San Francisco, is scheduled to graduate Sept. 6, 2013. 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 13 weeks of rigorous, transformative training. Parris Island is home to entry-level enlisted training for 50 percent of males and 100 percent for females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Lance Cpl. Caitlin Brink)
