Sgt. Jason Wasserman currently serves as a Marine Corps drill instructor with Mike Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C. Wasserman joined the Marine Corps in March 2006 and became a drill instructor in March 2012. “I became a drill instructor because, after my experience in the fleet and in the infantry, I wanted to have an impact on the recruits coming into the infantry … So when I return to the fleet, there will be a little bit of me out there. My favorite part of being a drill instructor is the transformation. It happens. It’s real. If anybody tells you it’s not, they’re lying. You can see it. It just restores your faith and your pride in what you wear, because they are so happy to become one of us, and it just reminds you of why you are what you are,” said Wasserman, a Detroit native. About 600 Marine Corps drill instructors shape the approximately 20,000 recruits who come to Parris Island annually into basic United States Marines. 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)
