http://www.wtv-zone.com/swanlover/military/PI_gate2.jpg

If you have been here, you know my name, My name is Parris Island.I was officially started in 1915 and I've seen recruits come and go by the thousands. If you were here when you got here by ferry boat, then you are truly old Corps. All recruits see my main gate only twice, once on the way in and once on the way out.Mostly you come by bus in the middle of the night. Tall,short,fat, skinny, black and white, long hair, short hair.You come through my main gate laughing some scared, mostly you act like teenagers, mostly you are teenagers.You each come here for your own reasons, but most come to test themselves, most need a direction in their lives. As you pass through my main gate your lives will change from that point on. I hope to see you leave as Marines, but you will not all leave together as Marines.Some will leave by themselves ,not Marines. They did not make the goal, my heart goes out to them, but not everyone can be a Marine. But today my heart is full of pride, for the next graduation of recruits, now MARINES, is leaving my front gate, teenagers no more but young men & women with a history to live up to.13 weeks and just look at the change. You know this is a happy day for me, but my best days are yet to come. That's when these Marines come back to see me 20, 30, 40 years from now. Oh yea, a lot of the old ones come back to see me, they have not forgottenOld Parris Island and I have not forgotten them. Former Marines and I have this bond, it's in our blood, it's PRIDE it is where it all started for both of us. My sad days are the ones that those that can't come back to see me those that were killed in WW1, WW11,Korea,Viet Nam, Beirut and all the little actions around the world. Hey, I've got to go have a bus load coming in tonight and one leaving in the morning...SEMPER FI!! You all come back and see me you hear!!

I can,t beleive you did not have any sand fleas bite you,little blood sucker would get in and behind your ears ,on your neck.don,t you dare touch them.DI would let you slap the recurit in front of youto get them off.If you killed one and got caught you had to bury it ,if yuo did not know the sex of it you had to dig it back up,if you could find it,DI games hahahaha.

[SlingerDun]

I was sent from Oregon to San Diego yet my father who joined in the early 50's also from Oregon was sent to Paris Island, nutty huh?

[SlingerDun]

I just got the scoop on my pops after all these years and he says he did not go to Paris Island, he was attending OCS, Quantico. Wether he completed training or not i didn't ask but apparently he had a two year agreement written somewhere on paper and they said in order to be commisioned an officer he would have to extend 4 years. Well my old man has always had timelines and he said no. So he remained at Quantico and served the rest of his two years as admin. I just assumed he went to Paris Island because he occasionaly joked about Hollywood and his old uniforms had stripes.

well let me tell you, being born and raised in San Diego Ca, it was only natural that I join the biggest and baddest gang in the world, so I signed up. Went to Mep's, downtown ( the old SD courthouse ) waited all day as people shuffeled in and out, I just could not be patient about when I was leaving. Well soon there were only five of us left and they were getting ready to close for the day, when someone told us that our ride to M.C.R.D. had arrived, ( oh Goodie ). Well goodie, it was, a black stretch Limo,( I sware to GOD), the driver asked us if we wanted to go for a ride before we arrive in hell, being full of **** and vinegar we said bring it on. We toured the city like Rock Stars, and before we new it we were at the back door of processing. The driver told us to enter the doorway turn right at the hallway and say WE ARE here. Well lets say we were properly introduced to the Worlds Finest DI, ( can you feel the pucker factor) what a set up, any ways the rest is history and I would, re due it all in a heart beat.

Sgt Fell just got back from Viet Nam and had a Bronze Star for finding a stash of munitions, at least that's how I recall it now.

'course it was a Navy doctor!
When SSGT Jim Nelson refused to get a job, his father insisted he join the Marines. At the induction physical, the doctor directed the reluctant recruit to read the eye chart across the room.
"What chart?" the young man asked.
"The one on the wall!" The doctor said.
"What wall?"
Sensing he had a deadbeat on his hands, the doctor asked his beautiful nurse to walk in naked.
"What do you see now?"

Man I'm beginning to think I'm the only one who graduated from MCRD SD in Feb 75. I was hoping I might find some like minded Marines. Would be nice to connect after all these years.

Grew up in the swamps and marshes of East Central Florida so PI was like home away from home. DI's were Sgt. Potes, Sgt. Frazier and Sgt. Robles. Not a day rolls by I don't think of at least one of these fine gentleman. Each had his own unique quality and way of getting the point across that almost made you think they cared. Truly born to their profession. Grateful to this day for the privelege of having those 3 individuals indoctrinate 3088 into a lifelong commitment, being a United States Marine.

I was told I was the 5th Marine to ever come through with a tatt. on the side of the head. Talk about Hell!! When they shaved my head that first night all Hell broke loose. I have a huge Pantera Tatt. CFH Cowboy from hell... I let the rest of you Imagine what that 13 weeks of Island life was like .
