...majority of blacks I know here did not come from inner-city or predominantly black high schools, and I think that's a problem," says a senior black woman who asks not to be identified.

But lately, too many recruits are festooned with adornments too tasteless for even hardy jarheads. One Marine wannabe's temple, for example, bore tattoos of bullet holes with blood oozing from them (he didn't get in). Another recruit sported a naked woman (he was barred until he had a bathing suit tattooed upon her).
