I just heard that the Marines, unspecified as from where, have evacuated westward. I presume it’s from Camp Lejeune in N.C.
Parris Island? “Holy jeez, if you scumbags think you’re gettin’ off of my island by other than graduating boot camp, ya got another f*ckin’ thing coming!
Get down and give me 20! Up….down…up…..down….up…..I didn’t say down ladies. We’re starting over!”
THEN I checked it out. I’m on the money!

S.C. Marines follow McMaster’s lead, cancel Parris Island evacuation ahead of Florence

Recruits at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island prepare to evacuate to Marine Corps Logistic Base Albany following an evacuation order directed by Brig. Gen. James Glynn, the depot’s commanding general.
Glynn would later rescind that order Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2018, after S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster lifted a mandatory evacuation order for Beaufort County, which the governor issued the day before.
The recruits will stay on Parris Island, which is closed to the public as the depot prepares for weather associated with Hurricane Florence, according to Marine Corps officials. Sgt. Dana Beesley U.S. Marine Corps.

The Marines will follow the lead of S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster, who on Tuesday rescinded a mandatory evacuation order previously issued for Beaufort County ahead of Hurricane Florence.
Accordingly, staff and trainees at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island will remain at the base instead of evacuating to Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany (Ga.) as earlier planned, according to a statement from depot commander Brigadier Gen. James F. Glynn.
“Safety is still our principle focus,” Glynn wrote Tuesday in the statement, posted on the depot’s Facebook page.
“With any decision there is a degree of risk, and we believe the logistical efforts of moving all personnel to MCLB Albany now exceed the risk of remaining at MCRD Parris Island.”
Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort posted a similar statement on its Facebook page Tuesday, and both installations said any already-evacuated personnel were expected to be back at work Thursday to resume normal operations.
Why? Because the Japs, the Chinese and the NVA never called off a fight because of a little wind and rain. Uuh Rah!
