M-7 (October 2)

Marine Band at Color Ceremony
Officers and Recruiters of MCRD San Diego at
Colors Ceremony.
GRADUATION DAY! While the Marines finish packing and getting ready for their parade, parents started packing the stands before they were supposed to.  Some of us went to the Colors Ceremony which was quite nice.  We heard the Marine Band play and saw the color guard.  It lasted about 30 minutes, then we headed over to the Parade Deck to find seats for Graduation.

The Marines looked so sharp in their uniforms!

The stands were really crowded, so we ended up closer to where PLT 1055 would be, but we still were able to pick Jeremiah out of his platoon.  Everything went so smoothly, and the graduation wasn't as long as we had anticipated.  We'd thought it would go for two hours, but it only lasted 90 minutes.  Then we got to take Jeremiah off base!  10-Day Leave!
