Me emociono mucho estos videos y estos muchachos los admiro mucho marines no puedo escribir sin llorar y soy orgullosa mamá de un Marine mi hijo se graduó October 6 2023 es mucho orgullo los aplaudo y rezo por todos ellos 🙏🙏 es muy grande la emoción 🥰🥰♥️
I'm glad you got to do that. I didn't get a family day or boot leave. In fact, it was 9 months after I joined that I finally got to see my family. Congratulations to this new marine and her family 😊
Awe, congratulations to you for pushing through and making it! Happy you got to see your family finally ❤️ And thank you! Luckily for the new marines they will start up boot leave now on the 29th of Oct. What’s your MOS ?
Thank you!! Family is everything and It’s been awesome thus far i hope she enjoys her time in the corps and the family she creates while being in the service.
You will never know the value of something until it’s gone. I graduated in January of 2017. Was supposed to graduate in November of 2016 but I ended up fracturing my left tibia. Still made it through though.
Most definitely! I’m glad you made it through and continued to push through dispute the obstacles you went through while you were at MCRD. Are you still in or did you do your 4 and get you?
@@kellypriscilla718 I re-enlisted, but ended up getting medically separately back in July because i fractured my tibia again in the same location. So I did a total of 6 years.
Awe! So happy for you, excited for you to attend family day and graduation. It’ll be so emotional. And he gets to go home for boot leave so you get to spend that time with him as well. He’s graduating from PI?
My Marine graduates this week (Oct 15) so we will miss the 10 day leave by 2 weeks but I'm super excited for all who come thru & their families after the 29th...Enjoy your Marine!!!
@@JazzZville You’re so kind, that’s the spirit. I always tell the recruits to be grateful they even get to experience a family day and graduation, for a whole year this base was shut down to families. Hopefully after MCT or SOI (if your son is infantry) he can go home for leave.
@@kellypriscilla718 Yes, you are so right...it's all been so crazy but we know & understand it's all only for the safety & protection of our Marines and their loved ones. His MOS is Engineering so he'll be going right to that training after the SOI that everyone has to do. I'll keep my fingers crossed that he'll get leave sooner than later or be close enough that I can get to him on some of his weekend liberties *smile* Thanks!
OMG, THIS WAS JUST TOO MUCH *tears*...THANK U SO MUCH FOR SHARING & CONGRATS TO UR NEW MARINE AND YOUR FAMILY!!! MY NEW MARINE WILL GRADUATE THIS FRIDAY, OCT 15TH, FOX CO,#2081 AND THIS VIDEO WAS PERFECT FOR WHAT TO EXPECT...OOHRAH!!! *I'm already crying so I'm going to be a MESS!!!
Thank you so much, Congratulations to your son and your family !!!! So exciting. I hope you enjoy your time with your Marine, If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask. I can be your guide if you need one. (:
@@kellypriscilla718 You're awesome & thank you! I've been receiving the info from the base and just don't want to break any rules, especially violating SGT MAJOR'S GRASS RULE, LOL...We're leaving in the morning from Atlanta to make it for the orientation/tour. We plan to be at the entrance both Thursday/Friday by 5am to prayerfully avoid the traffic madness. He requested his favorite meal which I will prepare for Family Day. Are there microwaves available and since we can't touch the grass is there space to sit out and eat? Also, is the MOTO run long, that we should bring chairs?
I know they say all that about the grass but when the parking lot reaches capacity there’s a designated grass area for families to park. And there’s spots around the base to grill so you just need charcoal or you can bring your own little portable grill. I know inside of the MCX looking in, to your left past the cashiers area where there’s like a little food corner (milkshake machine, coffee machine, and the little tornados rolls) there’s a small little microwave. And yes traffic upon entering the depot is crazy. Gates for families don’t open until 0530. As far as MOTO run you won’t need chairs. They’ll be on the parade deck as you saw in the video and then run a few times around the parade deck and in the street. It doesn’t take that long so you can just stand cheering everyone on. If you want to take chairs so that you can have for your time being on PI you can but it isn’t necessary. (-:
@@kellypriscilla718 Thank you so much for your responses and answering my questions!! I'm so excited and probably wont be getting much sleep these next couple of nights. Thanks again...OOHRAH!!!
@@kellypriscilla718 thank you Kelly. Graduating Boot Camp is GREAT. Finally we were called a Marine. But then there's a time "after" boot camp you're called a "Boot." Marines call each other all kinds of names, here's a few... Recruit, Boot, Grunt, POG, Office Poggy, but the greatest honor is to be called a Marine. Once a Marine always a Marine. Stay safe and Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant.
This made me tear up 😭🤍 Congratulations! I leave in a few months. Any advice about bootcamp? Also, my parents only speak Spanish so how will they know when my graduation day will be?
Hi!! So I reached out to her and she said ‘Senior drill instructors offer the chance to send mail in Spanish If there’s a document they want you to send home simply request it in Spanish and they’ll get it for you, becuase twowards the end, they give you a paper about graduation, family day and bootleave and you can get a Spanish version or simple you can write to your parents like a month beofre or 3 weeks before’
‘Big advice would be, just know it’s all staged, don’t take anything personal, don’t standout, you will be nervous for the first 3 weeks but I promise it doesn’t easier, you just get stronger mentally and physically, just know the girl next to you is also going through it and that one day, you will make it’
As soon as you get off the bus and stand on the yellow footprints, take a second to think about every Marine that has stood there before you; you're joining a family with a lot of history. Read the words above the doors as you go inside; they'll stick with you for life.
At the time that she had went to bootcamp only Parris Island was seeing females the San Diego would see them once a cycle which is every 13 weeks. It all depends on when you go to bootcamp they’ll tell you if you end up at Parris Island or San Diego.
Hi! So it was a woman that we found through a Facebook group page called “Parris island bootcamp support for families and loved ones” !Hope this helps (-:
I have a question my son will be graduating soon, unfortunately his dad past away in 2016 it’s only me going is there a photographer there or would I have to take someone to take pictures for me?
Yes, there are photographers that take pictures during family day and graduation day but i’m not sure what they charge. A friend of mine used someone on instagram and facebook by the name Parris Island Photographer Hazel & Joy. Please let me know if you need anything !
Her reply to this was ‘Okay so I’m able to do 5, 7 is max score of 100 on the PFT. To improve there really isn’t much besides doing upper body workouts during 1 hour free time at boot camp. Advice would be, you should be fit before going becuase if I’m being honest with you, you don’t PT much at all. You are expected to pass the PT events. Personally i don’t think boot camp is about getting stronger just about already being able to physically pass PFT CFT random 2-3 miles runs you do a lot of hikes like a 5k, 8k, 10k, 12k, and a 15k aka the crucible. You can not fall out, I mean you can but no don’t be pathetic It took me 2 hikes to be able to hike and from there it was easy with like 50lb packs being the heaviest In summary BE FIT BEFORE GOING!!! I suggest having a 8minutes or less mile will get you exactly where you need to be for boot camp and 3 pull-ups being the minimum to do good on scores, and over 100 sit ups. And what I would tell myself is I will eventually make it back to my bed, the day basically ends @5pm after evening chow’
Hi! Unfortunately they are not allowed to go off base for family day. There’s a lot for you to do on base and i highly recommend bringing their favorite food or food they wrote to you about in their letters. There’s a few places around base to hangout, eat, and grill. Hope this helps. If you have any other questions let me know!
Why did she not leave with you guys after her Graduation? Did she have to go to more training else wear?🤔. Congratulations, I know this is way late but had to say it anyway. I am a US Marine Vet, Semper Fi💕

Brings back so many memories from Oct-Dec73, Plt 395, India Co 3rd Bn, Parris Island. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant.
