It seems to be more about economics than tradition. Still, Parris Island is a great heritage - for the marines and for the town. But the closest of me knowing the Marine depot is from the movies. (And a couple of stories from the marines I associated with in the former yugoslavia - lots of  :cheers: on time off)

Private Owens! Was the sand flea you killed male or female?

Pvt. Owens:
Male, sir!

TSgt Moore:
Then this ain't it. Keep looking.

Pvt. Owens:
I have a headache, sir.

TSgt Moore:
You don't have a headache. Only your Drill Instructor is allowed to have headaches. I have 72 of them.
