My hubby was at USMC boot camp 4 years ago on Christmas and News Year. They were given 2 candy bars and pop for each holiday and got to watch a movie, and were told to finish all of it even if they didin't want it. Then they ran and pt like crazy afterwards. They are able to go to Church too just like they are able to any other week.

The first guy who answered this question is crazy...no one goes home for the holidays...do you think they stop wars in the middle of a holiday for some carolling??? Boot camp is serious business. Sometimes...and I stress sometimes, the Drill Instructors will allow a dessert on Christmas but that's about it. As far as the lady who said her husband got to watch a movie...We stood at attention outside the movie hall for two and a half hours, waiting to go in to watch our movie...our drill instructor returned and asked if we liked what we saw...then we left. Boot camp isnt for fun it's to train Marines for the stresses of war. There are no breaks.

Watch the movie "Full Metal Jacket" and you will see how Christmas in Parris Island will be. Just make sure that you believe in the Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus!

If it's like any other military base during the holidays -- mighty quiet. Most troops are sent home for the Holidays.
