Summary edit

Description
English: Recruits of Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, break the seal of their gas masks Sept. 27, 2016, on Parris Island, S.C. By breaking the seal, recruits experience the gas’s effects, which include temporary respiratory irritation, watery eyes and a burning sensation on the skin. Alpha Company is scheduled to graduate Nov. 18, 2016. Parris Island has been the site of Marine Corps recruit training since Nov. 1, 1915. Today, approximately 19,000 recruits come to Parris Island annually for the chance to become United States Marines by enduring 12 weeks of rigorous, transformative training. Parris Island is home to entry-level enlisted training for approximately 49 percent of male recruits and 100 percent of female recruits in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Cpl. Vanessa Austin)
