Graduated from PI September 28, 1976. Still remember graduation day like it was yesterday! My parents and sister came to the ceremony. My Dad, a Korean war veteran, actually cried as he told me how proud he was. I had never seen a tear in his eye before that day.
Sadly I lost my Dad in October, 2019, 2 weeks after he was diagnosed with cancer. He was still riding his beloved Harley 4 weeks before his death. I miss him immensely!
Reubin Thomas ...Thank you Reubin. He lived life on his terms and had a very interesting life. He was also spokesman for the Greatest Generations Foundation so all vets were close to his heart. He had the honor of standing with Tim Chambers, the Saluting Marine at Rolling Thunder in DC in May, 2019, for a while in his dress blues. That meant so much to him and it was a day I will never forget and such a gift since a lost him later last year.
Been there done. That graduated March 11th. 1974 3rd bn never will. Forget staff sergeant McConnell sdi staff. Sergeant ap hall sergeant Gruden and sergeant cater

@@williammunny7133 thanks for your service man ppl like you r the real heroes and r the reason why when I get older I’ll do the same and join the us marines to serve
Coast Guardsman here....Much respect to my brothers and sisters in all branches! I'll never forget my graduation day. Our national anthem still gives me goose bumps! Oooorrrahhhhh!
As a Military Veteran, I love to watch programs and videos of our arms forces. The most important thing about the military is Self discipline and learning to work with others.
27 years in the Corps of Marines including 4 with Marine Barracks, 8th & I. Many years have passed since and I still get a lump in my throat. Oohrah! Semper Fi!
I graduated Basic and AIT at Ft. Ord in the 1960s My father who was a WWII Vet was there for both ceremonies. He had tears in his eyes, and I will never forget that.
USMC 1960 MCRD San Diego, Camp Pendleton and then Twenty Nine Palms. People who did not go through it would not understand. Missed Viet Nam by just a couple of months. To this day I cannot get the marching drum beat out of my head you can hear at the first of the video. I am still a Marine.
Deb Thank you. That means a lot to me and would do it again in a heartbeat. When I meet new people and get to talking to them and find out that they are Marines it is like instant friend. The "stranger" barricade is broken, a little tear finds it way out and we have a lot to talk about. I love my country and am happy that you care too.
John Nelson my son graduated Pendleton. I was proud as all the parents were. Know so many men who have so far survived Vietnam.

Walking out and through the parade ground is a truly honorable thing g to experience especially when you are about to receive your butten. What a day it was.I still feel that excitement and breath that I thought was gone because I was so tired
We drove down to South Carolina for our Marine's graduation in October 2004. I was fine until they played the National Anthem, and all the mothers started to cry at once.
It must’ve been cool to see all the mothers cry when they know that their young sons earned that first salute to the flag might be me in a few years if I graduate
I walked off that Parade deck on 26 January, 1981. Platoon 2201. My dad was there for my graduation. He also walked off that same parade deck 30 years earlier. As did his two brothers. My son graduated from MCRD San Diego in 2013. He is still an active duty Marine, and soon will be a Warrant Officer.
Man times have changed. In the early 90’s we graduated in Alphas. Only the guide graduated in Dress Blues. We also didn’t have a high PFT Marine or shooter that was recognized on graduation day. And once we left Edison range, we never saw our PMI again. Regardless, man I still get those parade deck chills. Retiring of the guide on, damm....get GET SOME BABY.
mightymacdiesal12 hell we graduated in "C"harlies in 1981. We weren't even issued Dress Blues. Back then we had Summer "A"lphas and winter "A"lphas. Will always love our Corps.
Nobody does D&C quite like the US Marine Corps. They have their own unique swagger. As former Army, this is one thing I always wished the Army would focus more on in Basic.
Graduated from PI March, 1968. Spent 7 years in the Corps. 2 years in Vietnam. I was a crew chief all 7 years on the CH 46. In Nam, I was in HMM 161, then HMM 262. God bless my Marine Corps. Semper Fi.

The music is ment to line up, most of good ol' John Sousa's work was for the USMC and since those musicians are also USMC they used the commands to line up when they started playing
Brings back memories. 28 March 1977, parade deck MCRD Parris Island 85 degrees, 90% humidity winter, WOOL, service Alphas. Was sweating so bad I couldn't wait to get into my jeans and t-shirt that had been waiting 3 long months for me.
Me Too, wish I was there.....Oct. 1969 MCRD San Diego, mail call, letter from mom. Mike Dalton, my neighbor, friend, classmate from Ferguson, Mo. ... KIA, that hurt bad. Will I be next ?
Hey ya fucking numnuts if you are a Marine you woukd know how to spell "Marine" ? Always and I do say always always Marine or Marine is always spelled with an Upper case "M".
Please add yourself to the fucking idiot list as Marine or Marines is always spelled with an upper case "M".As USMC is never be to displayed in a lower case letters. Are you a Marine? If not you may consider just to STFU and kiss my Marine ass?
Lloyd Welling I just said I see a lot of people not using uppercase. If it really offends you then maybe get off the internet for a little bit. Thank you for your service
I remember the daily practicing of the graduation ceremony. Everywhere we went in boot camp, to chow and classes, we marched. Tens of hours practicing on the "grinder", to get it right. And then when that day came, graduation day, we screwed it up, some of us turning left when we should have turned right. How embarrassing. Oh well.

Matthew Pribble over compensating for the weight of the guideon but they are new recruits turned marines. He still marches better than some ive seen in other branches
This showmanship really bothers me. Before you start trying to dog me, listen up. I've watched the Marine Corps "evolve" over the past 42 years. I've lived it-- joined Mar 4,1976 and graduated 21 yrs, 5 mos. later, in 1997. I've met the great leaders of the past, GySgt Carlos Hathcock ("the Sniper", Col Wesley L. Fox, MOH--was lectured by them. Read and learned from battle- hardened, tested Marines. I've done the studies. And I've watched several lately published videos about today's USMC. I'm here to tell you that it's results that count. Not strutting around like a big cock!
I don't think that the march looks strange. I believe that the main point of every military march is to remove the individuality and present the whole unit as one. "We all look the same, therefore we are one". The same thing with uniforms.
Those are "Platoon Guides" who bear the Guidon. The Guides are wearing dress blue trousers, which is part (summer version) of the dress blue uniform. Had it been a graduation in the winter (cold) months, these guides would be wearing the entire dress blue uniforms, which you are probably more familiar with. We Marines have our own unique way of marching. We are known for that, and for our pomp and decor. It's one of the many ways that we differ from the other branches.
This former Marine was graduated from platoon 3017, 1967; I was the smallest egg-head on Parris Island and, while asked, replied with: "Sir, the private respectively declines to be the drill instructor's house mouse sir." He moved on.
San Diego, 1142, 1969...I was a House Mouse for about 10 minutes. I ran a swab (mop) over S/SGT Sanborns shoes...Yikes he went nuts, and worked me over pretty good. I hated that prick.
It's the Marines gents not the cub scouts. If you've never been to Parris Island and earned the title Marine then I guess you'll always have some outside opinion. Hence why they call us The Few, The Proud, The Marines.
Roger that,Pln 381-3 September-3-December 1973, Parris Island.David Price When I enlisted it was "We will make you a man" then it was "The few the proud". Female recruitment and I am proud of our sister Marines,Semper Fi brother.
Interesting that they are wearing the service cover instead of the garrison cover/piss cutter. When I graduated in 1976, the service cover was being phased out. Although it was issued to us I never wore it once and it was not authorized to wear for regular duty. Then around '78 or '79 we switched from the OD green utilities to the camouflage.
Graduated from PI September 28, 1976. Still remember graduation day like it was yesterday! My parents and sister came to the ceremony. My Dad, a Korean war veteran, actually cried as he told me how proud he was. I had never seen a tear in his eye before that day.

I believe that the main point of every military march is to remove the individuality and present the whole unit as one. "We all look the same, therefore we are one".
The same thing with uniforms.
The problem with the march is that they barely lift their arms or legs. The standard bearers also wear different trousers for some fucking reason.

For those who don't know, this is the retirement of the Guidons and Honor Gruaduate award ceremony.
Interesting that they are wearing the service cover instead of the garrison cover/piss cutter. When I graduated in 1976, the service cover was being phased out. Although it was issued to us I never wore it once and it was not authorized to wear for regular duty. Then around '78 or '79 we switched from the OD green utilities to the camouflage.
Job well done of videotaping This Magnificent event of our the United States States marine Corps members...Thankyou you be blessed amen
