I've been out of the Marine Corps for 10 years now and stuff like this motivates the hell out of me. And then I remember this is just boot camp and the fleet Marine Corps is anything but motivating like this video is. Lol! I do miss the friendships I made in the Corps though.
Believe it or not, we had a fat-body recruit that was a 300 PFT'er, and got LCPL out of boot camp. Felt sorry for our guide, who was PFC upon graduation.
Please go. Your friend will be happy to see you. Family and friends are invited. There is no limit of number of guests that can attend. You should also go see him the day before graduation; that is the first time they get to see their family.
I was able to attend my son's graduation in 2000, wonderful day. Hubby had served in the USN for 20 years & we did 2 tours in San Diego, so we were familiar w/the area and glad to be back for a visit.

I guess it would depend on your MOS how fast you got promoted. E-3 out of boot is nice, but not if you stay there for the next two or three years due to promotions being frozen and the only way to get it is through a meritorious mast. I didn't get E-4 until halfway through my fourth year. I would've had to re-enlist to get E-5.
Army retired here I wouldn’t change my decision just wish we had as much pride I believe that all branches can take a page from the Corp also give them something to earn like the famous eagle globe and anchor non the less I enjoyed and appreciated my 20 plus years in the Army wouldn’t change a thing just wish we where as proud
The Marine Corps has a number of qualifications for starting at E-2 (Eagle Scout, for example). Throw a meritorious promotion on that and POOF, E-3. Thaaaaaaat's why they're called Recruit now and not Private, because not all of them are truly privates. You get paid as an E-1 through bootcamp and then get reimbursed when you get to your next duty station.

I thought just occurred to me during the War of 1812 when The ready set fire to Washington DC, United States Marine Corps barracks was not set a ablaze because we fought so well. Why did I say we because past present and future brings our brothers and sisters
Most people forget that young men join the military because they want adventure since they were boys. Only when there is a war do young men join out of patriotism. But passing basic training makes soldiers believe they are patriots. I know I did. The drill sergeant was even telling us we'll be going to Iran and I have no call to doubt him.
The song that the band is playing is also the same song that the Texas A&M marching band plays during a parade or during a halftime show. Did anyone notice that?
E always wondered; did graduating an E-3 make any difference? Other than a personal honor, did it make a difference in their tours? Did it take them longer to make E-4?
Another thing why can’t we be proud of all our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines one cannot function alone it takes a force not a few my three brothers are marines not active now and I am proud of them I followed my fathers footsteps and dam proud of my service yes the marines make it look good but we fight as one unit never forget the us army was the first branch then the navy if my memory is correct established June 1775 then the navy and marines also in 1775 later the coast guard 1915 the us army air Corp in 1947 correct me if I am wrong no matter the us military is a family just different we fight together not each other
I hate the "Blues" pant with the tan shirt. When I was in we had "khaki" (tropical) shirts and pants...much nicer looking uniform. The current iteration makes them all look like recruiters!
So all the marines that are graduating are wearing the tan top and blue pants. When do they get their black coat and blue pants like the ones standing up front?
Usually the ones wearing the dress blues during graduation day are the platoon guidons. I believe they are also the honor graduates of the platoon I think. Also one guidon will be the company honor graduate and is usually advanced to a Lcpl.
+xXD1MZXx your correct, the only ones that wears the full dress blues are the guidons for each platoon! Actually the choice of uniform is left up the choice of the Commanding General's discretion! SEMPER FI
+Carlos villar well who said its not summer anyway?! But those uniforms in this graduation are not called "Greens" those are our "Brovos!" Those are the same uniforms that Recruiters, Sea Duty Marines & Marine Embassy Guards wear! Now they are worn per the Commanding Officers discretion! The CO picks the uniform that recruits are to graduate in!
Oh holy cow. Those in full dress blues are GUIDES. For graduation, the honor grads are the guides. The little red flags they carry are guidons. The rest of them are in dress blue C (or charlies). Dress blue D is with the short sleeve shirt. Marines during the summer months normally wear the camouflage uniform with sleeves rolled up and sometimes wear service C (green pants and short sleeve shirt). During the winter months it's camouflage sleeves down or service B with green pants and long sleeve shirt.
52 Years later, I'm still proud to be a part of this brotherhood.

He had to have the highest score in his whole series to make LCP out of boot camp.
I'm sure y'all were proud of him.
Could just be that he had a PFC contract and got meritouriously promoted like all the other honor graduates.
tehkylecreshow No as you can see he's holding the Chesty Puller Award which means he had the highest PFT out of everyone in the company

funny, I made it to e-5 from e-1 out of basic within my 4 year contract with no meritorious promotions.

Me either. I thought E-3 out of boot was just a myth!
Louie Neira rotc then a meritous promotion in boot and you’ll be a e-3
