Rct. Alexander P. Bouthillet, Platoon 1086, Charlie Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, responds to a drill instructor during a formal inspection Aug. 15, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruits are inspected three times in training; the first two prepare them for the battalion commander’s inspection, which is their final graduation requirement. Formal inspections help ensure recruits have properly fitted uniforms as well as possess attention to detail, bearing, confidence and discipline. Bouthillet, 18, from Jacksonville, Fla., is scheduled to graduate Oct. 16, 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 Pfc. Aaron Bolser)
