About this listen

Earlier this summer, the Marine Corps deactivated the 4th Recruit Training Battalion, Parris Island. 4th Battalion has historically been the only battalion to train female enlisted recruits from all over the United States.  In memory of the battalion, Ann sits down with two fellow Marine veterans, Tracye Thompson and Jolene Edwards to reminisce about their training days and discover the differences between three generations of Parris Island recruits.
