PARRIS ISLAND Motivation Run

This is a four mile run where the new Marines run in company formation from training battalion

to training battalion singing cadence and ringing each battalion’s bell signifying their

eminent departure from the Depot. The ringing of the bells is an old naval tradition

stemming from the ringing of the ships bell signifying each hour a sailor was on watch.
