There are many who would say that absolutely NONE of Parris Island's 8,000+ acres are remotely fit for human habitation (g)

Seriously, one of the many things that makes the Corps different from the other branches of our military is the "aura/legend" of Parris Island. We are alla ware of the rigors that cadets go through at West Point, Annapolis, and the AFA, but only enlisted Marines can feel that they went through something far worse than their officers endured. This was pointed out to me forcefully....many, many times when I was going through Quantico.
