    My grandson is currently in Pendleton doing his crucible. So in 2 weeks we will be going to his graduation. Grandpa( my husband) is a former Marine, my son is a former Marine, and now our grandson. 3 generations of Marines. So very proud of them all!

    Searched for the Marine Family day / Graduation and found yours. I have a nephew that starts his journey 3 Jan 2022 in the Marines. I think his Boot Camp will be where Kenneth went. I served 21 years in the Air Force and I’m excited for your journey. I sent this excellent video to my sister so she can plan on attending. I want to go too.
    Thank you for what you will do for our country and what you will sacrifice and yes you both will sacrifice. In fact the entire family will sacrifice.
    Thank you all. I salute you sir! 👍😊😉🙏

    I’m surprising my soon to be Marine best friend! His family has been so generous with inviting me to go with them to all of this! The video helped me so much! I had no idea what to expect! But now I feel a little more calm about the family day now that I know how it works! Still crazy nervous though!

    Semper Fi, Marine!
    Hope you are serving with pride and hope your sweetheart is alongside you.
    I served six glorious years in the Marine Corps, I joined in 1986 and fought During Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm before leaving in 1992 for school.
    I am proud to have served and watching the family day video (I went to swampy Parris Island 😖) revived the memories of that day. Sadly, my family couldn't make the trip, but fellow members of my platoon picked up the slack. (My now late mother had a health issue and a late telegraph explained why.)
    You had a fellow Marine accompany you back home...which solidified why Marines take care of their own. I had returned to surprise my mom, and show the family the Marine I became.
    I am subscribed to the channel and hope to see more video content. I am surprisingly the ONLY member of my family to earn the EGA...and more amazing is that I am the only member to have seen actual combat. (A double blessing or curse...if you can look at this from either side of the spectrum.)
    Again, congratulations to you both.

      Yuri Cobos the whole thing is about 2 or 3 days
      Day 1: tour the base
      Day 2: hang with your recruit for like 3 or 4 hours
      Day 3: graduation day, take your recruit home
      Arrive early in the morning on graduation day and I mean beyond early maybe like 4 am
      I’d recommend going for at least two of the days when you get to see your recruits
