註釋Since 1915, the Parris Island, South Caroina and San Diego, California recruit depots have given our nation Marines who have served their country in brave military readition. 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 rough physical and mental challenges that make a Marine. Drawn from firsthand accounts of recruits themselves, the memories describing a training program that, on first encounter, often appears insane. But the results are clear: a disiplined Marine with a proud history that he or she carries proudly in peacetime or war. Parris Island is a welcome study of the old and the new Corps training, and is a tribute to the old and the new breed.
