The Parris Island Planner

A guide to keeping your sanity while your loved one is completing Marine Corps boot camp

Author Vera Basilone writes about the process of Marine Corps Recruit Training and answers all of the questions people have asked her over the years on her website ParrisIsland.com. Rather than focus on the recruit, as much of the information found online and in books does, this planner focuses on the loved ones, (moms, dads, boyfriends, girlfriends, grandparents), who wait for their recruits to complete training. It also provides specific activities in the form of Adapt and Overcome Action Steps throughout each chapter designed to prepare you for life with a loved one in the Marine Corps.

Vera Basilone maintains the website ParrisIsland.com where she writes, edits, and answers questions about Parris Island. Although this web site contains helpful information about  Parris Island, it is not the official Marine Corps Recruit Depot web page.

The Parris Island Planner is available in paperback or eBook and includes 4th Phase Information.
