Marine recruits descend from a rappel tower at Parris Island, S.C., in 2017. By Dan Lamothe Dan Lamothe Reporter covering the Pentagon and the U.S. military Email Bio Follow May 15 at 12:46 PM The Marine Corps punished at least eight drill instructors and some officers in response to allegations of hazing and other abuses last year at the service’s recruit training center at Parris Island, S.C., according to Marine officials and documents obtained by The Washington Post.
The cases, which have not previously been disclosed to the public, occurred in the 4th Recruit Training Battalion, a unit in which female drill instructors train female recruits. The investigations were opened as the service began considering more fully integrating male and female recruits during training, as in the other services.
“I knew I was in the wrong for overstepping when I shouldn’t have, but I wasn’t used to anyone messing with the weapon," the recruit wrote. One recruit interviewed in the case reported she and three other Marines were forced to go through a chamber that introduces recruits to CS gas twice within minutes during training, instead of once as typically required. The recruit wrote in a witness statement that drill instructors said “enlisted look out for enlisted,” something she construed to be a message to keep quiet.
