This was a good and true representation of PI. Parris Island has two R's. The rest of the services should take lessons from the Marines. All Marines get the same training and everyone is a rifleman even officers. The first thing they teach is Marine history so they develop a common ethos.
There are a couple of truisms you can say about the Marines; they are the best fighting force in the world today. Marines are a cheap date when compared to other services and lastly if you mess with one you mess with them all.

"Marines are a cheap date when compared to other services..."
How true Recon Dad! The phrase that was popular when I was serving was:
"The Marines have done so much with so little for so long that they can do anything with nothing forever!"
Semper Fi!
