Parris Island Museum, Iron Mike Tour

Welcome to Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, home to the Marine Corps Depot and the Eastern Recruiting Region. Here, these two commands serve one mission of recruiting quality young people and making Marines. The Depot is responsible for training recruits from roughly the area east of the Mississippi River. The Eastern Recruiting Region oversees three recruiting districts, covering 28 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Marine Corps established bootcamp here in 1915 and since then has been in the business of making Marines. At the end of their 13 weeks of rigorous training, they will earn the title United States Marine.
