[Joseph P Carey]

Very Hot all day long, Oh, you're talking about the Sun in the Heavans, Not the heavenly sons in the campaign Cover. Even if it is cold, it will be still be shirt removing weather, Recruit!

9/19/05? I predict a harsh environment. Are you going to quit on us? We'll have the finest Marines on duty testing you and your character.

In 8 days you will be put to more duress that you have ever experienced. We cleared out Falluja, Hue City, Chosin, and Iwo Jima because we simply did not accept anyone that would quit on us.

You will be ruthlessly hammered and beaten until you have no choice but to quit or reach down deep and eat your guts for one more minute of inspiration. If you survive, we will welcome you to the Eternal Brotherhood.

Hey, I just graduated from PI on Sept. 2nd. Let me tell ya, it is humid as hell. Just thank God the summers over. When my platoon was working the pitts during firing week, we had 28 heat casualties within about half an hour! I heard from another recruit that CNN got a story on it. I witnessed the whole thing, was almost one myself, I had the early symtoms of heat exhaustion. Well, good luck to you, hope ya make it. Semper Fi!

I loved my summer tour at P.I.

You will be tempered into a Marine. Just take everything as it comes. You can't do anything about it anyway, unless you quit. Stay away from the media. They love to get a juicey story every one in a while. Claim your fame to the Marine Corps. Good luck see you back on the site when you return on boot leave.

iijohnx2kii,

Another way to put it is. Everyday there is a parade, and every meal is a fest. There are no bad days at Parris Island....

It will be hot ,hotter,and then even hotter then there will be the wonderful sandfleas and don't you dare attempt to kill them because as every Marine that ever went to P.I. will tell you the sandfleas have to eat to so don't you dare kill one of them. This time of the year is always fun at P.I. I went to boot camp 2 Sept 1969 over 36 years ago and then was stationed there for two wonderful years working in cash sales,mens clothing and housing in 1973-1975. Enjoy yourself

To kill an sand flea is mass murder to a Drill Instructor....!!!!

[Joseph P Carey]

We have had military funerals for Marine Corps Sand Fleas, as well as Marine Corps Mosquitoes. This is how esteemed they are to the Drill Instructor. Remember that!

We also had Military courts for those that kill the sacred beasts.

DO NOT HARM THE MARINE CORPS ANIMALS! Keep your hands at you side, and do not make facial expressions. That is the Corps!
