    I was surprised to see so many E-5 Senior Drill Instructors. When I was a D.I. back in the late 1970s, it was mostly E-6 and even some E-7 as SDIs. This is a great video and reminder of our young men and women called to serve as Marines. Semper Fi

    USMC 64 --- 68. Vietnam 65 -- 66. Third Marine Division. Well now just looking at this video proves how things in The Marine Corps have changed since 1964 and not for the better. And Parris Island I am sure is no where near as rough and brutal as when we The last of the old Marine Corps went through. 3Rd Battalion. And now when they complete The Crucible they are called Marines. Well our Crucible was the real One. The Jungles of Vietnam. We were not called Marines until the final dismissal at graduation. And I am also sure none of these higher ranking NCO'S and Officers were not even thought of back when we were humping those M 60'S and 45'S through that Jungle. Oh. And lets not forget those very precious Rifleman. They looked out for and protected us and very well so. And lets always remember without those Rifleman there is no protection. And I thank them whole Heartedly. I had a pastry Chef write on my Marine Corps Birthday Cake, From where The young Marines left. The real Marines returned. We fought on to victory, The Men of Marine Corps Infantry. Well good luck and God Bless to these new Marines. Semper Fi and Oohrah.

    My Son graduated Parris Island early January 2018.
    We were so excited for family day and had a banner made for the Moto run.
    Not to be.
    The day we arrived it snowed about 4 inches in South Carolina for what I was told was the first time in 3 decades.

    Parris Island shut down also and the planned events were cancelled.
    A few days later the Graduation was held in the gym wearing dress blues.
