Recruits use red-lensed flashlights during interior guard training July 29, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Red lenses are used during night patrols because they do not affect a person's night vision. The mission of the interior guard is to provide security for a command and to ensure order is maintained, enforce rules and protect property. Recruits patrolled for one hour before being relieved by the next group. Golf Company is scheduled to graduate Aug. 30, 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. (Photo by Lance Cpl. David Bessey)
