    Sgt. Rachid Alcala, a receiving drill instructor, ushers the newest recruits of Mike Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, into the receiving building on July 8, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Alcala, 28, from Brownsville, Texas, is one of a handful of drill instructors responsible for preparing new recruits for training. The first day is one of many they will spend learning what it takes to earn the title of United States Marine. Mike Company is scheduled to graduate Oct. 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 Cpl. Caitlin Brink)

    A young man in a blue shirt is using a payphone or institutional telephone, reading from a posted instruction sheet. The sign on the phone enclosure contains 'Dialing Instructions' for new recruits at Parris Island, a U.S. Marine Corps recruit depot. The scripted message instructs recruits on exactly what to say when calling home upon arrival.
    A military drill instructor in uniform stands with hands on hips facing a large group of young male civilians in civilian clothing, who appear to be shouting or responding in unison. The scene appears to take place at dusk or dawn on a military base, with institutional buildings visible in the background. This appears to be a military induction or recruit processing event.
    A group of civilians stands outside a United States Marines recruiting or processing facility, looking through large glass windows. The building features the iconic inscription 'Through These Portals Pass Prospects for America's Finest Fighting Force - United States Marines.'
