| Eagle, Globe, and Anchor (EGA) |
HE MADE IT!!!
Jeremiah is officially a United States Marine!
The recruits finished their last 9 mile hike up The Reaper at 7:30 am Pacific Time this morning. Then they did an Eagle Globe and Anchor ceremony and were called "Marine" for the first time. Now they can call the DIs by their rank rather than merely "Sir."
Of course, now they have to come down off that hill. So the new Marines are given apples and sports drinks, then they will hike about six miles back. Once back to where they started (yes, they've basically been marched in circles), they will have a "Warriors' Breakfast." I've heard that some over eat and don't hold it down. Hopefully Jeremiah is smarter than that! Then they get to SLEEP for 10 hours.
Congratulations to my new Marine, Jeremiah! You did it! Your journey to becoming a Marine culminates at Graduation, but your journey as a Marine is just beginning. Semper fidelis!
