I ship in June but have requested to ship sooner if a spot opens up. I signed Corpsman/FMF HM8404 guaranteed with home base here @ NAS JAX. I am excited and cant wait for the adventure. i stumbled across this video today while baby sitting some of our waterways on one of our Marine boats, ... little board. Regardless, thank you for your service, Merry Christmas to you an your family. Respectfully, Jonathan L. Jacksonville Fla,

@agochoa

Haaa, very cool, small world! Yes, my son was the tallest 'body snatcher' ... he actually caught two who were about to pass out from knees locked!! Greatest experience to see a PIR ... Thank you for your service~

hi! i think i may have also performed during this ceremoney, dvision 921. I was wondering if you have anymore pictures from the pass-in-review (drill teaM) and if you could maybe email some. I have never seen any for myself and didn't have my own video made. Please write me back. I officially graduated 4-20-2004. Pretty cool video!!! I hope your son really appreciates it. What a terrific mom!!!

@claudius9684

Thanks for posting this video! I was in 920 and we preformed at this grad! Go Navy!

@brutus4ever

That is awesome!! You guys did a great job!!! Thank you for your service!!!

[claudius9684]

@brutus4ever so if you performed in it, then i did too... we were div 921 - triple threat... I'm guessing you guys were the Flags, right?! That's awesome.... do you happen to have any video footage from PIR? I would love to see some. Like I said, I didn't have any of my own, and was stupid not to purchase the video. I would love to have it to show to my son in years to come...

[brutus4ever]

@claudius9684 I have the video from my graduation, which would have been april 9th, when I go home for christmas I will post as much as I can

@brutus4ever HEY!!!!! did you get to the house yet??? I sure hope you get this reply before you go back to your duty station. I know how precious, and short leave can seem during holiday season... but if it's not too much to ask, would you, could you please....??? :) upload that video, or however much of it you do have? I would be eternally grateful. Thank you and Chips Ahoy! :) Happy Holiday's!!!!!
