A taste of life as a Marine
Keene High staffers visit Parris Island

On an April day in South Carolina, Jay M. Punt picked up an infantry rifle and sent out a salvo of ammunition.
The next week he was back teaching in a Keene classroom.
Punt traveled alongside four other Keene High School employees - including hall monitors, teachers and an assistant principal - to Parris Island, the installation set up for training U.S. Marine recruits.
Their journey south was part of a Marine effort intended to give educators answers to questions from students interested in entering the military. And for four days, they and dozens of other educators observed - and occasionally tried firsthand - the life awaiting aspiring Marines.
