Too Much Authority?
No doubt from Frontier land there are a

marine corps “boot" training center m South

tury and has become a symbol for the marines'
method of recruit training, which is regarded by
those who have experienced it as a fearful and
wonderful thing.
Farris Island "Ixiot” training represents a
conglomeration of training, drill, indoctrination
and ordeal that sends out “graduates” declaring
they wouldn’t go through it again for a million
dollars and wouldn’t take a million dollars for
the experience.
Parris Island graduates generally have enor
