What was the name of that march or song they started playing at 2:41? At first I thought it was "Hail To The Chief" because of the intro but then I realized it was something else.
Why in some graduation videos from Parris Island, Marines are dressed in their Dress Alphas and in other videos they are in their Dress Blues? Do they wear both during the graduation ceremony? Or is one for Family Day and the other for Graduation day only?
@xthatsxradd The Guide or top recruit in the platoon wears his dress blues, the rest wear alphas; but I believe now you graduate in your dress blues regardless of your standing.
Yeah I know that. I was just suprised because usually you see graduates with more khaki/tanner clothes on like Dress Blue Cs or atleast it seems like that.
My son graduated July 3rd 2008 MCRD Parris Island. Quebec Co. PLT 3052. I am proud and thankful to all the young men and women who dedicate their lives to the defense of our country.
Tamis, that was a great video, only one that wasn't isn :30 second parts. I thank your son for serving and to all the Old/present/future Marines out there. I'm leaving for San Diego next August!
Good video. Very different from my husband's graduation in San Diego about a year ago. I like the fact you guys got to wear your green uniform. In my opinion, that's the best one ;] Maybe it's just because its so dang HOT in SD. Congrats, and Semper Fi, Marine.
I dont care how many times I watch a Graduation, be it San Diego, or Parris Island, it still gives me chills. I graduated Parris Island, June, 1975... OORAH
After this it will be 3 miles in a max of 28min. To become an officer you can either: A. Go to college and skip basic. OR B. After basic and a few years you can apply...But know this for either...they LOVE a perfect PT score which is the 3 miles in 18min. But once you beat basic the running will come in due time if you apply yourself. I started at 24min flat for my 3 miles and wound up getting it done in 19:30 once I was finished with Military Police training.and one last thing, I hate running 2
im working to be a marine. Because i detest running, i need to build endurance. So, what should i shoot for? Someone told me to be able to jog 1 hour straight. and obviously i need to run 3 miles.
Also, i plan to go to officer training as well, so that probably affects any advice you have to give.
@TheUSMC2017 ....This is my graduation...You first need to be able to run 1 1/2 miles in 13min. 30sec. Doing this gets you into your platoon and not into a fitness platoon for an extra 3 months.
Nice vid, my older brother and his two friends were Marines during the Vietnam war, one died there on a beach somewhere. My brother and his friend are okay, they don't say much about the war, and they enjoy the freedoms we have today. Semper Fi..Marines.
i saw some videos about a ball and some other places where some marines would wear the dress blues or some of them would wear the green uniform. do you choose which one you wear like if your going to a ball ors omething?
No, I belive now they all wear dress blues for graduation...this is my graduation video and it was raining that day...maybe that was why we went alphas...
thumbs up to the guy with the camo hat on in the front! what a ballar! :D

@USMCForceRecon100 They feel like a lifetime but I think about 30-45 min maybe. Family Day's about the same.
