This video documents boot camp at Parris Island in the 1950s. The video is divided into three parts.
Part I was produced by the Marine Corps. It is in black & white and narrated. It documents the boot camp experience with scenes of recruits getting haircuts, on the drill field, the rifle range, confidence course, using pugil sticks and even the infamous "bucket drill."

The second part of this video is in color and contains the "out-takes" (scenes not used in the original production) of the first film. There is no narration in this part (a music soundtrack) but the scenes taken in 1957 and 1958 offer additional perspectives on the training recruits received.

The third part of this video is in black and white with a music soundtrack. It was made in 1951.

Paris Island is in a time warp. That place looks exactly the same as it did 60 years ago. Everything is the same except for the dudes cutting your hair are all black civilians with ghetto doo rags. Paris Island is like the twilight zone and I'll never step back on that island again.

Not exactly nostalgic, but from 1/6/58 I was there, Platoon 105, 1st Battalion.

I got out of the do-nothing rut quickly!

Platoon 22 1957, They took an immigrant and made a Marine of him and later a successful lawyer. We went back for my son's graduation in 1980s. The Corps made me. I love it and I'm nearly 80 years old. Wonder what happened to Red Coleman from Plant City Florida. A good Marine and a right pain in the a**

@airbomb34 Actually, PI has changed tremendously since the 1950's.

@MsJollycholly Thought I responded but nothing happened so I will try again. Initially I was in the Parris Island Drum and Bugle Corps and then later became an S3 Clerk in lst Recruit Training Battalion making training schedules and parade rosters until funishing my enlistment in June 1957
