I went through Parris Island back in 2005. That place sucked. Especially during the summer. All those damn bugs. Just remember that its a mind game. They wont make you do anything that they themselves haven't already done. It's kinda like a right to passage. Yeah, you'll hate it there! But at least you get the weekends off. In the Marine Corps that shit didn't fly. It was 7 days a week there. I also have been told you get stress cards. Ask your recruiter about those. But don't bring anything with you besides religious stuff, like your Rosary or Bible. They'll take you to the PX and you'll buy everything you need there. Have your family send you some mailing supplies once you get there. Stuff like envelopes and stamps. Your allowed to have that kinda stuff. O yeah, I forgot that you get the weekends off. Never mind that. You could just call your family from a phone. Good luck and remember its a mind game.
