PARRIS ISLAND, S.C. Local educators had a busy day Thursday in Parris Island.<\/p>\n
In the morning, educators watched graduating Marines on the motivational run as the Marines families cheered them on.<\/p>\n
Afterward, everyone gathered to watch drill formations and waited for the newest Marines to be released to see their families for the first time since leaving for boot camp.<\/p>\n
Warren Central High School Assistant Principal Cody Rich, says it was an honor to watch.<\/p>\n
It was an emotional experience, and its a once in a lifetime opportunity that I will always remember and always cherish, said Rich.<\/p>\n
Then, the educators were taken to see an obstacle course.<\/p>\n
Educators were able to climb a wall, swing across inclined monkey bars and learned a little martial arts.<\/p>\n
Marine officials say the obstacle courses are to build confidence in what the recruits are physically able to do.<\/p>\n
The experience is not yet over for the educators, but it was their last full day on Parris Island.<\/p>\n
Friday is graduation for a group of Marines who will then have 10 days of leave before they begin training for their first assignments.<\/p>\n
