Summary
Staff Sgt. Tristan Curren, a drill instructor with Platoon 1022, Charlie Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, hurries his recruits as they unload a tractor trailer full of their field training equipment March 10, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. The recruits staged their gear inside unfurnished huts where they stayed the following two nights. This excursion was part of Basic Warrior Training, which aims to develop recruits’ knowledge of common combat- and field-related skills. Curren, 28, is from Port Angeles, Wash. Charlie Company 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 Cpl. Octavia Davis)
