Tradition of the Yellow Footprints

Tradition of the Yellow Footprints

Excerpt from an April, 2009 Marine Corps Article

4/10/2009 by Lance Corporal Ed G., MCRDPI.

As the air brakes hiss, hearts beat faster, palms sweat, breaths become shorter and a bus of hopeful recruits are unified by the fear of the unknown.

These are the experiences of so many recruits who have passed through Parris Island's main gate.
