Parris Island was Officially designated as a Marine Corps Recruit Depot on November 1, 1915....where as San Diego was officially designated as a Marine Corps Recruit Depot in 1948 we still have a longer streak.
Parris Island has its own rifle ranges and field training area. San Diego has to go and use Camp Pendletons.
Big brother...psshhhh hardly.....Parris Island is more like the Father of San Diego.
Now Hollywood go peddle your crap else where.
Oh and no hard feelings brother.....it's an Island thing.
