Recruits of Delta Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, spread out during a martial arts training session Aug. 27, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. Keeping a safe amount of distance between recruits is one of many safety precautions taken during training. Delta Company is scheduled to graduate Nov. 13, 2015. 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 approximately 50 percent of males and 100 percent of females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Lance Cpl. Vanessa Austin)
