At 3 a.m. in a misting rain on a street in Parris Island, South Carolina an eighteen-year-old boy's life is changed forever.Three in the morning and screaming men in Smokey Bear hats are trying to set records. Unlike Marines in the recruiting posters, none of them are dressed in blue suits, wear medals, or even carry swords. No "Glad to see ya", no "Hi Buddy", no handshaking, nothing. No, the message is clear: "The Marine Corps builds men, and we're starting this morning.""That was outstanding, Swivel Hips, do they have any more like you at home?""You murdered that sand flea! He had a family!""Yes, you Sweetie! You waiting on a personal invitation?"Seventeen percent of Private Joyce's buddies are sent home in the first two weeks. He guts out another twenty-four hours of Marine boot camp. Each hour, each day, his tormentors' Gestapo methods and language stretch his personal limits.Will he be sent home in disgrace, or can he earn the title of United States Marine?"Parris Island Daze is the best book I've ever read on boot camp at Parris Island. I've read every word in the book and even read some aloud to my wife. It's a wonderful, wonderful book that I hope all Marines will read and enjoy. It's great." Former US Senator Zell Miller, author of Corps Values: Everything You Need to Learn I Learned in the Marines. .

Parris Island Daze: My Drill Instructor was Tougher Than Yours tracks an under-sized eighteen-year-old boy with something to prove, as he guts out one more day of boot camp. His tormentors' Gestapo methods and foul language shock Private Joyce, but he gradually adapts using an irreverent internal dialogue of his perception of each situation. He frequently gets caught smiling and awarded extra instruction, which he sometimes is able to cheat on the count. With the support of his acid wit, buddy Buffalo Butt, salty bulldog Cpl. Winston, and the spirit of legendary Chesty Puller, he is eventually forged into a Marine. "Parris Island Daze is the best book I've ever read on boot camp at Parris Island.

By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Parris Island Daze: My Drill Instructor Was Tougher Than Yours (Paperback) Written by Marine Corps Association member and Parris Island graduate Bob Shirley, Parris Island Daze: My Drill Instructor Was Tougher Than Yours is a tell-it-like-it-is account of what Parris Island (or any other American military boot camp) is really like. Recounting the experience of grueling yet invigorating training, and illustrated with twenty-eight black-and-white boot camp photographs, Parris Island Daze reminisces the forging experience without pulling any punches as to its severity. Parris Island Daze is especially recommended for anyone preparing to join the military, the better to inform them of the hurdle they are about to encounter, as well as the character and manhood-building rewards they can achieve!
