description

Summary

Rct. Rashane Phifer, with Platoon 4010, Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, prepares a gas mask for chemical and biological warfare defense training Feb. 11, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits experienced temporary respiratory irritation, watery eyes and a burning of the skin when exposed to tear gas, a nonlethal agent used to increase their confidence in the mask’s ability to protect them in a biologically or chemically contaminated environment. Phifer, a 20-year-old native of Waco, Texas, is scheduled to graduate April 4, 2014. 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 of females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Lance Cpl. Vaniah Temple)
