Recruits of Hotel Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, perform exercises inside the gas chamber to prove their masks can maintain a seal through a wide range of motion during chemical and biological warfare defense training July 30, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. The training ensures recruits become comfortable with using a gas mask in a chemically or biologically contaminated environment. Recruits were exposed to tear gas, which is a non-lethal agent that caused watery eyes, respiratory system irritation and a burning sensation of the skin. Hotel Company is scheduled to graduate Sept. 20, 2013. 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.
