    Rct. Justin Plaugher, Platoon 3072, Mike Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, performs box jumps during a physical training session July 31, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits cycled through various exercises meant to strengthen their bodies to meet the Marine Corps' high physical fitness standards. Plaugher, 22, from Lima, Ohio, is scheduled to graduate Oct. 4, 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)
