Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island has restored limited depot access to properly credentialed military retirees and their credentialed dependents.
Base access is restricted to every Monday through Thursday from 6 a.m. to
10 p.m.
The restoration of access, which started May 11, is part of the depot’s plan to gradually open facilities, restore services and reduce depot access restrictions in a deliberate and phased manner.
Depot facilities will require patrons to wear face masks upon entry and military retirees are not authorized to escort non-credentialed personnel aboard the depot.
The depot will continue to re-open open facilities, restore services and reduce base access restrictions as conditions permit.
In addition to the requirement of wearing face masks, the following facilities will have additional restrictions or modifications to their procedures or business hours:
