May the Lord bless your Dad,and keep him and cause His face to shine upon Him! And Grant Him Shalom ( PEACE)! May God bless you and your family and your Daddy! SEMPER FI!🇺🇸🙏🇮🇱
Always takes me back to watch these videos. My time was 1974, at 1st Battalion, the red brick barracks in the background to the left. I clearly recall the series forming in front of the building and feeling for the first time the depth and strength of The Corps. So many other memories from that time remain vivid. Good to see the same building standing. Best decision of my life was to join The Corps. It opened so many doors for me that otherwise would have been closed. Congratulations to these young Marines. Welcome to the world's largest and most prestigious fraternity. Godspeed. Semper Fidelis.
Nothing like a pass in review.. little did a young Marine understand the essence and overall preciousness of those fundamental years... However could anyone ever think such moments to be what theyd painfully wish to relieve and miss so much over anything else throughout ones remainding years ...
I am proud to say. I graduated from this same parade Deck back in 1983. 2nd Batt PLT 2052. One of the most important achievements I have ever done! I never will regret. Semper Fi Always faithful ! After my graduation, I got to watch my wife graduate from the Marine Corp also!
Memories, Memories. Motivates me to see this video. Oooooooorah. Semper Fi Marines. Past, Present and Future. Three tours as a Drill Instructor and Series Gunnery Sergeant. 2 @ Parris Island and @ San Diego. Motivates me to see this Recurits become Marines. Awesome. Parents be proud of your Sons and Daughters. GySgt. Retired Santa Rosa,Texas Semper Fi Marines
We were the "Best on the Island" . . . 267, we took ALL "4" of the trophies, I personally "Tied" the RANGE RECORD then at 241 out of 250 with my M-14 . . . our graduation was Sept 19, 1971.
Graduated on this same parade deck in January 28th 2011. I thought this was the proudest moment of my life, BUT I tell you what, when I honorably received my DD-214 that was on another different level of high. I’m still chasing that high to this day.
I became a Marine in 1969. Since then it has been the biggest and most important accomplishment in my life. Since then I've accomplished a lot -- in school, business, law enforcement, family, etc., but earning the Title -- that's the greatest thing I've ever done. Except for those who were handed the Eagle. Globe and Anchor, no one could understand that. Semper Fi to all you Marines, past and present.
Let me tell ya, Bootcamp was a hell of a time. BUT i would ABSOLUTELY do it again. The good memories of the corps outweigh the bad any day. Happy birthday Marines. Semper FI !!
At least its only two months. Mine stop talking to me before he join the marines . Now just praying his safe and the day he comes around to speak to me again
Everyone outfitted in blues? Far from my day. We graduated in khakis with short sleeves. The only blues were on the honor men from each platoon. But, seeing this brings back memories from 53 years ago when I marched across the parade deck.
2063,1988 summer, it rained 3 times that summer and one of the days was graduation day.... so we endured an indoor ceremony, sadly I never got to march across the Parade Deck in my dress uniform😔Semper Fi
Something that I haven’t seen since the 80’s and that is a Corporal as a drill instructor unless that young man is a PMI instructor. The requirement was that you could attend DI school as an E-4 but you had to be an E-5 upon graduation of Drill Instructors school.
What does this pattern camouflage? is a very hard question because it is hard to imagine a background against which the pattern would be hard to spot. It doesn't make wearers exactly stand out either. It seems meant to make small spot stains on the pattern NOT STAND OUT. Where did the USN's blue baseball cap, white t-shirt, work shirt, and jeans.go?
Unfortunately the arm action is not good due to individuals having different ideas of how much swing to apply. If you look at British forces marching everybody's arm moving forward comes up to the horizontal position and it looks much crisper. It makes the marching look far more formal rather than looking like a bit of an amble across the parade ground.
My enlistment was 1960~1964~Saw many Asian country's~Also the Cuban crisis, through the Panama Canal on our way too eliminate the Russian forces~But they started removing their missiles, so we were on our way back too Camp Pendelton.~When did graduates start wearing dress blues ?~ We wore our Utility's.~SEMPER FI
I'm curious as to how these guys are in their Dress B's for graduation. My son graduated from San Diego a month ago, and they all wore Dress C's. Is this different traditions at East vs West? Or is it a seasonal thing?
The uniform is seasonal and also what is know as the Uniform of the Day. Called by the higher echelons. Hope ur question is clarified. Semper Fi. GySgt. Retired. 77/97 Montemayor. Santa Rosa, Texas
Great question. I graduated in 1969 also--Platoon 2047--started up in September. We all wore greens--my preference anyway--much 'smarter'. Then, blues were given only to those who excelled in some way. Btw--I noticed how sloppy the salutes were in this video. If done properly, your belt would not ride up :). I've seen so many sloppy salutes given by Marines over the past 55 years that I'm embarrassed. But they're still Marines. Semper Fi!
BE ADVISED! I'M STILL LEARNING HOW TO TYPE ON A STUPID ASS CELL PHONE! THIS DUMBASS PHONE HAS A VOCABULARY OF IT'S OWN. LOOKS LIKE I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE CONTROL OF IT.🇺🇸
someone will have to timestamp the marching part, because I watched the whole video and saw no marching. Isaw lots of lazy walking though, much of which was out of step.
I see a lot of people saying “I’m happy they’re not going to Afghanistan. I’m happy we’re not at war with anyone. Y’all Do know what the military forces (ESPECIALLY THE MARINE CORPS) is about don’t you? I’ll give you a hint. We’re about everything You’re glad isn’t happening.
All Stores Please Lower the price of all Military and Local for all Brands of Paris Island Recruit Products and Accessories and Production Cost Now That's too much $$ The Whole World Now 🙏🙏🙏
What's the point of graduating in Dress Blues? Most of them will never wear them again. I was in for 4 years and didn't wear Blues once. A waste of taxpayers money.

I'm embarrassed. What kind of marching was that? Everybody was off step. They looked like JROTC. 1st Battalion graduation class November 17th, 1989. 1096 Series. Platoon 1098 We definitely marched better than that. Sorry. 😮

Looking good yall and good job congratulations for your hard work and dedication
Got to witness this ceremony firsthand on a NJROTC field trip. Semper Fi!
My son was a graduate from Plattoon 1020 on this day. One of the proudest moments of my life.

Platoon 175 22 October 1964 The few left and the proud. I see the young faces of those who passed and know I am much closer to seeing them again
👏🇺🇸it was wonderful being there
Seeing this tugs a few tears.
I’ll always love the corps, it’s something i hold so close to my heart ❤️
Semper Fi brothers and sisters.
Once a Marine Always a Marine My daughter did It🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
in 3 years man, 3 years and I can finally earn that Eagle, Globe, and Anchor myself.
OOHRAH!

My son Dale will be graduating on Nov 21, 2023. Cant wait. Proud mom❤️
My son graduates August can't hardly wait to see him, it's been 2 months and I feel like am dying without him being able to call or write to me

Inspiring!

Platoon 3120 graduated Dec 20, 1991 it was 8 degrees that morning.
good stuff here
faith and business projects!
Beautiful ceremony.
Does chaplain have the invocation script in his cover?
I had 2 nephews that was in the Marines
I was there for one of my nephew that's going on
Corona changed everything..😢💯
Semper Fi ! The worse day I had was my divorce , second worse leaving my Marine and the Corps .
Now I have a nephew that is in the army reserve now
Well Done
Do the Marines wear the dress blue D for winter graduation, or do they now wear dress blue B?
When did they start dressing ALL recruits in dress blues? I thought it was just the Honormen
Something that I haven’t seen since the 80’s and that is a Corporal as a drill instructor unless that young man is a PMI instructor. The requirement was that you could attend DI school as an E-4 but you had to be an E-5 upon graduation of Drill Instructors school.
When I was a recruit in charlie company I was also confused on why we had a corporal drill instructor
That was my drill instructor! He has a really good cadence!

Do they always pray at the graduation ceremony?

My answer above was meant to comment on Navy camouflage. Its ending up here is a mystery.

You want them to march like Nazis?

👊👊👊👊👊👊
How does the naval officer at 2:51 have an army good conduct medal? Just curious
Prior service likely
My dentist had been in the Navy then went into the Army.
Hello 🙂
When did they start issuing dress blues to all recruits? We graduated in geen uniforms in 1969.
Great question. I graduated in 1969 also--Platoon 2047--started up in September. We all wore greens--my preference anyway--much 'smarter'. Then, blues were given only to those who excelled in some way. Btw--I noticed how sloppy the salutes were in this video. If done properly, your belt would not ride up :). I've seen so many sloppy salutes given by Marines over the past 55 years that I'm embarrassed. But they're still Marines. Semper Fi!
It’s my turn I’m up next this gone be me
Still giving out the ketchup and mustard ribbon?
Was that DI at 2:32 a Corporal? I thought they did away with that.
What is the name of the march at 16:20
It's called "Salute to the Sultan" or the "March Orientale"
whats he doing right now ..?
Simper Fy, 😔💕💕💕

The good thing is their not going to Afghanistan. I’m happy that the war is over and they don’t have to suffer.

Why do PI graduates wear their dress blues, but SD graduates dont? I dont think ive seen any SD graduate wear their dress blues during the ceremony

44:05 is that a corporal as a di?

not as sharp as videos from a few years ago. Counted about out ten of step.
What's the point of graduating in Dress Blues? Most of them will never wear them again. I was in for 4 years and didn't wear Blues once. A waste of taxpayers money.
You can wear your dress blues to special occasions when you leave the military.
