PARRIS ISLAND, S.C. - New Marines of Kilo Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, and November Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, sang cadence through the streets of Parris Island, S.C., during a traditional motivational run Aug. 15, 2013.

The 2.3-mile run is held the morning of Family Day, when the new Marines receive a few hours to reunite with their families and loved ones after more than 12 weeks. Kilo and November Companies are scheduled to graduate Aug. 16, 2013.
