Summary[edit]

Description
English: Recruits of India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, rinse the remains of tear gas off their gas masks after chemical and biological warfare defense training April 22, 2014, on Parris Island, S.C. While in the gas chamber, the recruits experienced the effects of tear gas, a nonlethal agent that causes a temporary watering of the eyes, respiratory system irritation and a burning sensation on the skin. The purpose of this training is not only to introduce recruits to this kind of warfare but also to instill confidence in their ability to use the masks. India Company is scheduled to graduate June 13, 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. MaryAnn Hill)
