USMC Family Day/Graduation - DelandoBrad

[1antonio12]

Just love this video...LOVE IT. I hopefully am able to enlist in 3 months, go DEP and ship in a year. If all goes well. Been wanting to do this since i was 12. Since then I knew this was what I wanted. More than anything. Oorah Marine, Semper Fi.

[wyntonyoung]

that was awesome!!

[JayNoolo]

2 questions...do you have to have a certain GPA for the marines or just a high school diploma? and what is the tatoo policy becasue i have one on my upper arm??

[DelandoBrad]

@JayNoolo

no, just a HS diploma...tattoos that are visible should be able to be covered with your hand.  Also the content of the tattoo could be an issue, but is reviewed on a case by case basis.

[JayNoolo]

@DelandoBrad so i gotta cross on my upper left arm...like a short sleeve shirt covers all of it except like the bottom tip...is that considered visible?

[DelandoBrad]

@JayNoolo

you should be ok

[ordinarycuber]

i never noticed until now..how ya'll lean back when ya'll walk..why is that?

[DelandoBrad]

@ordinarycuber

bc it looks so dang good..it's what we are taught to do

[ordinarycuber]

@DelandoBrad ty for responding so quick, another quick question if you don't mind..i've seen some graduation videos where some where the "ball caps? or service hats?" and others wearing the ones you did in this video...can you explain why...is that officer graduation?

[ordinarycuber]

@ordinarycuber well nvm i re-watched it y'all wear both..why is that?

[abyss210]

[jayven009]

How come the uniforms vary in graduations ?

I noticed that in some graduations, the graduates are wearing the Dress Blues , and sometimes they wear other uniforms.

[DelandoBrad]

@jayven009

depends on the time of year, weather wise

[Austeenob]

[GOELISTRONG]

[GOELISTRONG]

@DelandoBrad thank you

[TheUsmc29]

Im going to meps in a few days :)

[DirtyDebFurn]

Shouldn't you have graduated Lcpl? being a contract pfc and then graduating as a guide?

[DelandoBrad]

@DirtyDebFurn

You can, but it's all depends on if your Company chooses to promote you.  I think they have a certain amount of quotas that they will do per year, but I'm not sure.

[tyler011494]

[danyaquintero]

Quick Question @delandoBrad

how many college credits do you need in order to graduate as a PFC?

[DelandoBrad]

@danyaquintero

I believe 12 credits

[caseyshattuck]

God Bless these young men who give all they have to give and are ready to give more including the ultimate! The young man in this video makes me incredibly proud to be an American and a U.S. Marine who graduated in 1979 Plt 3071 I company P.I. and it is Marines like this Marine who continue the legacy of the Marine Corps "The Greatest Warriors in the World and backed by History"....OOHRAH AND YAT YAS!

[05stangdah3]

Amazing video, best of luck to you Marine, cheers from Canada!

[babbie012295]

did they pick yu to be the guide on for yur platoon ?

[babgirl927]

motivated!!

[chuenty818]

how do u graduate as a PFC?

[DelandoBrad]

@chuenty818

A number of ways, you can go in as a PFC if you have college credits or recruit 2 people to join. In boot camp you can get a meritorious promotion if you finish in a leadership position.

[chuenty818]

@chuenty818

what kind of college credit? associates degree?

how do they verify the 2 people u bring in and stuff?

[TickleMebird]

@chuenty818 ik he didnt say this but if your still in highschool or under 8 years of age do young marines or any branch of jrotc and has to be two semesters and ur a pfc

[TheFarte]

@chuenty818 the easiest way to graduate as a PFC is having 2 years of JROTC in highschool. if u r a senior and havnt takin JROTC before talk to ur JROTC instuctor and if hes nice he will let u double up classes for the year.

[dominicaquino22]

Its people like you that inspires me to become one of the few and the proud!

Thank You.

[taylor2142]

that barber shop looked nice, thats not where you receive your cuts during training is it?

[DelandoBrad]

@taylor2142

No, this is a different one on base.

[Bonnie3100]

[cowsrock1q]

my boyfriend graduates in less then 2 weeks :) i feel so proud

[P2M3]

Semper Fi Devil Dog. Did your senior DI correct you for missing a belt loop?

[DelandoBrad]

@P2M3

No, because it literally fell off right before the graduation ceromony! lol

[caseyshattuck]

@P2M3 This "P2M3" is a Marine impostor.....He is no Marine just a wannabe and a OBAMA lover! Please disregard anything this moron says about the Corps!

[P2M3]

@caseyshattuck I don't know why you choose to spread lies about me. Come to vero beach florida and I will prove to you I am a MARINE. How many years have you served in the Marine CORPS? You must be one of the druggies that failed a urinalysis when I was a Unit SACO. This is my last post to you. You are a waste of my time.

[caseyshattuck]

@P2M3 You are an absolute impostor and you proved it on another site......you asked me "where did you go to basic...PI, MCRD or San Diego which proved you are a liar as there are only two basic training bases....MCRD and PI. You are a liar an impostor and a moron! NICE TRY WANNABEE

[thegame245]
