Facing a Congressional mandate to integrate men and women into its basic training, the Marines are considering all their options, including replacing San Diego and Parris Island, South Carolina with a single boot camp.
The Marines are required to add women to Marine Corp Recruitment Depot San Diego within eight years and end segregated training for new recruits at Parris Island in five years.
