Sir, you couldn’t have said it any better than that! I First stepped on to the yellow foot prints at Parris Island in 1993. That started my life changing transformation into a United States Marine...24 years later I retired from the Marine Corps.

I can't believe some of my best...wait... some of my most memorable days were had at Parris Island. Where every MC decides to go they will have to import the sand fleas to ensure the integrity of training.
