Removing its COVID-19 restrictions that have been in place since early 2020, Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island will be fully reopened to the public starting on June 16th.
This means the depot will be open each day of the week and will have no restrictions on the amount of people allowed for recruit training graduations or daily entry by visitors.
This culminates the depot’s gradual condition-placed reopening plans. On April 12th, Parris Island announced that it would allow limited access to graduations starting on May 7th, and allowed each graduating Marine to select two visitors to attend his/her graduation.
With Parris Island restrictions lifted, we’re looking forward to seeing new Marines and their families walking around Beaufort on graduation day again.
It’s a sight that has been sorely missed.
