Every year raw material (untrained human resource) is hired at the camp to be trained to become a part of America’s Elite fighting force. The trainers call Parris Island a place where ‘boys become men’.
Located in an area of 8,095 acres in Parris Island, South California, The US Marine Corps Recruit Depot provides initial military training to the marines.
