Rct. James Wright drags Rct. Chad Jones, both from Platoon 3049, India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, during the Marine Corps combat fitness test June 18, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. The CFT assesses physical capacity in a broad spectrum of combat-related tasks. Wright, 19, from Sneedville, Tenn., and Jones, 22, from Orlando, Fla., are scheduled to graduate July 3, 2013. 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 for females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Lance Cpl. Caitlin Brink)
