One of my best friends was a marine graduated Parris Island in 1979...It is so inspiring to see these fine young people earning the title US Marine...Truly our nations finest...Be proud graduates families and friends...Thank You for serving...
Thank you for sharing, my youngest son is graduating this Friday from high school and then leaving in 2 weeks to Parris Island. Looking forward to his graduation!
I Graduated back in 1976, It paved the way for my future career which I retired from back in 2013 as a US Federal Agent with an awesome retirement package, Semper Fi and thank you for your Service💪
I graduated from Air Force Basic Training in 1976, retired in 2000. Recently retired as an OSHA Inspector, and now having a relaxing time doing chores and watching TH-cam. I will admit y'all look a whole lot better than us. I remember not having to do the obstacle course and KP. It was like how I imagined the Boy Scouts to be, and there was so much good food.
I graduated 07/76 3rd Battalion. And retired 21 years later Gunnery Sergeant. God is great because went on to a great life after. God Country and Corps.
My daughter and family were there for her son's graduation on 7/9/21, and he was on crutches so he didn't get to march with the platoon. He had broken foot before the Crucible, but didn't know it was broke till he got back. He spent 4 months after graduation in Parris Island. He is now in his MOS in CA. It was a beautiful day, and it was his mom's birthday on top of it all.
this inspires me so much, my brother has just graduated from the Army from Fort Leonard Wood and i’m planning on joining the marines. I’m still 16 but i’m willing to go through the rigorous physical and mental exercises. I would love to know any tips or how to prepare myself physically and mentally. You have no idea how much you’re living my dream.
Don’t . Pay sucks, suicidal rates are high, hazing is still a thing. Do your research first and I promise you you’ll be better off working on McDonald’s making hourly pay. Military ain’t for everyone but Ayy if that’s your choice go ahead just remember if the recruiter doesn’t care about you he just wants his 100$ raise off of you. Research FIRST
@@martincortez637 Base pay is the same throughout all military branches. Depending if you're on deployment, you will get overseas or hazard pay. Suicide rates are high, but if you make something of it you can become someone special to yourself and others.
That’s crazy. I’m in Pensacola with him right now at AMS-2. This just popped up randomly on my feed. Small world after all, I was kilo. Graduated 2 weeks before pap co
They are all happy and joyful now. Being an USMC is not that easy. Courage doesn’t guarantee a live without danger. I served as an Army soldier fighting the Vietnam War in. 1977. Though I survived,but half of my Army mates died or suffered permeant injuries. I just want to wish you and your family don’t get mails or knocking on the door by a chaplain to tell you the bad news. May god bless you.
Thursday is family day , they wear their cammies. For graduation they have Dress blue B during the winter months and during summer it’s Dress blue D’s which is why you may see other people wear the other ones .
We got there at 5-40-6am because of traffic and also to make sure to get a good spot to watch them do the run ! For graduation we also went early but honestly as long as you are there at 7 am I think it should be fine ! Just check what time his graduation starts
Shipping out in July! Just curious is there any restrictions on how many people can come to the graduation? I know there was a restriction because of covid.
My son graduates April 29 on family day what time do you recommend getting to parris island and how long does it take to get through the gate? Also congratulations!!
First of all congrats to your son and your family ! Our Airbnb was about 15 minutes away , on family day I do recommend getting there early because the Moto run that they have starts at 7 AM . If I’m not mistaken we were at the gate by 6 am and there were already tamiles lined up on side of street ! They let about 15/20 cars in at a time I think and they will let you know what to do ( turn engine off , leave all doors open) then you step under a tent for a quick brief and that’s it ! Pretty quick
Hi my husband is in Boot Camp right now at Parris Island he just left a few days ago he graduates in July I have a few questions with graduation and with certain things throughout Boot Camp… graduation looks to be a two day thing if I saw it correct?… How soon will I be able to send letters?… Is there any times that spouses get to talk on the phone together at all?… I heard some thing about sending care packages is that allowed?… I have a few more but I’ll just leave it like that for now 🙂thank you
When he writes to you then you will have his address, no you donr get to talk with him like some other branches that get weekenf passes and yes packages are allowed for certain items. This was how it was for us, may have changed now but not certain on that. Best wishes to him!
Hey ! Congrats to your husband and to you for being a supportive wife ! It’s not easy being away but deff worth it . Family day will always be On a Thursday and graduation on Friday! They do have a behind the scenes and something else on Wednesday but it is not guaranteed that you will see your husband ! Personally I only attended family day and graduation. When it comes to letters this is how it was for me : some time during his first week of being a Parris Island I received a text saying that my husband “approved/allowed” to send letters through a app called Sandboxx ! You can also send through the mail but I believe it takes longer . The first two weeks they are busy doing paperwork physicals so you probably won’t receive a letter from them right away ! You will not be allowed to talk on the phone with them the only time and it can depend will be after they do the crucible ! Your husband will let you know what he needs and what is allowed . I was able to send my husband socks , Bible, pens ,paper and some thing extra but do not send any food!
@@ourdailylif3 I was told that there was a phone call for finances to get settled and that he would call me during that time but I’m not 100% sure… Also thank you for taking the time to help out people like you have questions and are curious about the process I appreciate your kind words as well it’s definitely not easy and we recently found out we were expecting so it’s made it a bit harder.
@@talithauccello8316 There could be a possibility but nothing is really guaranteed unfortunately! With the military you can be told you’ll get a call or something else and then not happen . When I received the first letter from my husband he asked about our bank information and I wrote him back with what he needed
@@talithauccello8316 also congrats ! I’m sure it must make it harder ! Take this time to find a hobby, hang out with family or friends, do something you’ve always wanted to do . One thing that helped me get through the loneliness was to stay BUSY!
Congrats he made it!! Soon I’ll be on my way to the marines also, My question to him is how did he get that first stripe is he an officer or did he do good in getting it?
@@Asappthegoat you get that if you were in rotc in highschool, made a deal with your recruiter, or have enough college credits, or earned it meritoriously during bootcamp. At the end of every cycle, the squad leaders, scribe, and guide get promoted to pfc.
That's what I was thinking. I remember only certain recruits got to wear them ( each platoons guides and the company honor man). I graduated in Alphas.
My boyfriend is in bootcamp until the end of the month and i keep watching these vids out of excitement
My Son is graduating Feb 10th has your bf graduated yet?
@@deliadelacruz9865 their comment was 3 months ago, but mine’s graduation is the 24th!!!

Excellent training for young people. Even if you don't fight in a war.
Thank you for sharing, my youngest son is graduating this Friday from high school and then leaving in 2 weeks to Parris Island. Looking forward to his graduation!
i went during covid and never got to have family come during family day. seein this makes me sad but happy you guys got to experience it.
Don't be sad, you did IT!
The excitement on your face when you were about to be there 😭 so cute!
3 long months but soooo worth it 🤍

I graduated in 2006. That feeling is like no other like, I made it and when you see your family it’s like, good to see you again.
Congratulations to your family. My grandson graduated on 19-7-2022 from Paris Island
Stay in the Corp for life....trust me..
In time you will become something you never imagined possible ✨️

Diera cualquier cosa por poder estar en la graduación de mi hijo que orgullo tan grande
Thank you so much for this very informative video.
I marched across the. Same parade deck on graduation day after thirteen weeks March 11th 1974 platoon. 3008
I have started the process, I hope to ship out in September to make the Dec 20th graduation.

A nosotros no nos dieron ese recorrido por las barracas😟 en San Diego California
Hola sí creo que es diferente en San Diego pero mi esposo es el que nos enseñó
how come some graduate in dress blues and the other attire ?
Thursday is family day , they wear their cammies. For graduation they have Dress blue B during the winter months and during summer it’s Dress blue D’s which is why you may see other people wear the other ones .
oh ok
Yoooo, that’s my boy Gaona! I met him at MCT! Hell yeah
Thanks for sharing! What time did you arrive on family day and graduation?
We got there at 5-40-6am because of traffic and also to make sure to get a good spot to watch them do the run ! For graduation we also went early but honestly as long as you are there at 7 am I think it should be fine ! Just check what time his graduation starts
Graduated around 7 days ago
Congrats Marine. Semper Fi
Will an 11 year old have fun, get bored, ECT?
Shipping out in July! Just curious is there any restrictions on how many people can come to the graduation? I know there was a restriction because of covid.
As of right now no ! We had about 12 in total in our group
Theyll let you know DG, but I wouldnt even care about that right now. Getting my 6 to walk across that parade deck is all that matters.
Best wishes!
I ship in July also! What day are you going? Daniel
The navy required me to have tockets to graduation back in April. The marine graduation does not require that, correct? I am to attend in 2 weeks
Hi! No not for graduation you can take whoever with you ! But I do think that for MCT if you are not a spouse you have to sign up to attend
My son graduates April 29 on family day what time do you recommend getting to parris island and how long does it take to get through the gate? Also congratulations!!

I wasn’t sure if it took a long time for them to run everyone’s ID ?
@@jasons1200 they actually don’t check ids or insurance !
Did y’all have to tap him out? I was told they got dismissed? Thanks!!
Yes they all stand still until their family shows up and hugs them (or taps them)
They get to leave home after
Semper Fi, Little Brother........from USMC retired GySgt
I want to be a marine when I grow up
How long after graduation recruits are expected to return home?
Recruits get to go back home at the end of graduation right away ! Once it ends they go back to the racks and pack their things up (:

Hey yes what’s your questions ?
how many people can go to the graduation.. do you know?
Can you bring food for your recruit on the family day?
Yes (: you’re allowed to have a picnic , grill out in designated area , they also have food trucks
We were there on Apr 8th for my son. Lima Co
Congrats he made it!! Soon I’ll be on my way to the marines also, My question to him is how did he get that first stripe is he an officer or did he do good in getting it?
Hi! What stripe ?
If you mean the one on his color that’s Private First Class (rank)
@@ourdailylif3 Yes the PFC I was diving more into what that was and that’s impressive that he obtained that in basic

My grandson graduates August 12th. I'm already crying watching yours. I better take lots of kleenex. Please thank your Marine for me
Graduating in dress blues?? Is this a thing now??
That's what I was thinking. I remember only certain recruits got to wear them ( each platoons guides and the company honor man). I graduated in Alphas.
It changes depending on the CG.
❤️🇺🇸👏
pay attention to your driving.
👍🏼
At least somebody family showed up
Mines didn't give a fuck
So No more face masks?
When we went we had to wear face masks inside the gift shop but I believe you don’t have to anymore

Loved being a marine, but I hate the marine corps. If you have ever been a marine, you know what I am saying.
So, they must all have the forced jab.
