w ARRIVAL AT PARRIS ISLAND Every new Marine who graduates on Parris Island started 13 weeks earlier on the famous yellow footprints. While standing in their first formation, this is what they hear; You are now aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, South Carolina and you have just taken the first step toward becoming a member of the worlds finest fighting force - The United States Marine Corps. You should be standing at the position of attention, that means your heels are touching; feet at a 45 degree angle; thumbs along the trouser seams; palms rolled inboard; fingers in their natural curl; head and eyes straight to the front; and your mouth is shut, I say again, your mouth is shut. This is the only position from which you will speak to any Marine, sailor, or civilian personnel during your stay on Parris Island. As a civilian, you were subject to civilian laws, as a United States Marine Corps Recruit, you are now also subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. For now, you need to be aware of three important articles; each of which is punishable at commanding officerls non-judicial punishment or court martial. First: Article 86: Unauthorized absence, you will be where you are supposed to be, at the proper time, and in the proper uniform. Do you understand? Second: Article 91: tDisrespect, you will be respectful to all Marines, sailors, and civilians aboard this depot. Disrespect, whether it be through words, facial expressions, or gestures, will not be tolerated. Do you understand? Third: Article 92: Disobedience of a lawful orderf you will do what you are told to do, when you are told to do it - without question. Do you understand? To your right is the receiving center. Here, you will be introduced to your receiving Drill Instructors who will lead you through your initial processing. You will spend the next 3-5 days with them. At the end of this week, you will be turned over to a team of Drill Instructors who will train you for the next twelve weeks. The Marine Corps, success depends on teamwork. Teamwork, therefore, is an essential part of your training here at Parris Island. Starting now, you will train as a team. You will live, eat, sleep, and train as a team. The word ll will no longer be a part of your vocabulary. Do you understand? Tens of thousands of Marines began outstanding service to our country on the very footprints where you are standing. Are you ready to carry forward their tradition? Follow me.
