The United States Marine Corps unique recruit training or ?boot
camp? is the very heart of the Corps. Since 1915, the Parris
Island, South Carolina, and San Diego, California recruit depots
have given our nation Marines who have served their country in
brave military tradition. Life as a Marine begins with Marine Corps
recruit training?all under the watchful eye of the drill
instructor, or DI, a character few Marine recruits ever forget.
Here, for the first time, Author and former Parris Island
drill-instructor Eugene Alvarez, records the training and tough
physical and mental challenges that make a Marine. Drawn from
first-hand accounts of recruits themselves, the memories and
recollections in these pages are humorous, sad, profane and
enlightening?describing a training program that, on first
encounter, often appears insane. But the results are clear: a
disciplined Marine with a proud history that he or she carries
proudly in peace time or war.
