AFTER CHECKING IN through the main gate, the first stop aboard Parris Island for the recruit is Recruit Receiving, where he turns in his orders and is assigned to a Platoon. After being assigned to a Platoon, the recruit gets a chance to meet his fellow platoon members while waiting to complete his in-processing. He also gets a first look at the spacious grounds, drill fields near the Receiving Barracks and meets his Drill Instruc- tor for the first time as the platoon' is marched to their battalion area.

f AT THE TIME initial issue of clothing is made, things begin to move rapidly. Each recruit is fitted with utility coat, trousers, cap, Skivvies, socks and field boots. Particular care is used in fitting the field boots on each recruit, and great emphasis is placed on care of feet. Because the recruit will spend many hours on the drill field, properly-fitted boots are a must. At the completion of this first uniform issue, the civilian clothing worn to the Recruit Depot by the new recruit is care- fully wrapped and mailed home. llllllal ISSUE QQ ? 'esv 1 ff Lf:
