this made me cry bc i wanna be a marine so bad but my mom just kinda talks sh*t about it. :/ but i’m so happy for you and your sister, and it makes me so happy that she has people to support her.
Congrats to your sister! I was Papa Co, plt 4000 so I graduated about a month before your sister. I remember when they got to the island! I'm assuming she's at MCT now? I just graduated MCT on Tuesday. It's really not bad at all, she'll be perfectly fine. Supportive family members like you are what keep us motivated :)
Congrats to you too! :) Yes she is! I miss her already. We continue to write to her just like in bootcamp. Thank you for your words ♥ And congrats again!
Wendy Lopez good job! Congrats! Semper Fi! Keep documenting your journey for your own memories to look back on. I'm going on my 1st year in and I'm still soo proud of all my accomplishments when I look at my pictures. Good Luck Marine!
This is so great to see. I photograph the recruits from day two to grad day and family day is always a tear jerker for me. So great to see it from a difrent perspective thanks!
My eye were so watery the whole video.. I leave for Parris Island in exactly a week from today to see my fiancé graduate 💜 Semper Fi and Congratulations!
Awesome video , very nostalgic when I was in back in 2004..but now it's my sister's turn (heading there next week!!) for her graduation it's an incredible feeling , so proud of her. 💪 Semper Fi ! & Good luck your sis in the Marine Corps it's an awesome journey to be apart off.
This brought me chills, Graduated Aug 18th, 1995, Plt C Company Plt 1003, San Diego. Seeing the step back, about face, and the scream of the accomplishing something mentally and physically tough. Congrats, to you and thank you for your service. I am sure you are at least a Lcpl or a Corporal by now. Enjoy the experience, Semper Fi.
This was SOOO awesome to watch!!! I was tearing up when you all were able to hug each other for the first time in 3 months! and congratulations to your sister! Parris Island ain't no joke! lol
Congrats to your sister!! 🎉🎉🎉. Only few make it thru MCBMT...but they're the Prouder Fewer!💗🤗. I wanna say to her Good Luck in the Marine Corps and Thank You for her future service. 💗💗💗. "Semper Fi".
It's the best feeling ever watching your loved one graduate. My boyfriend graduated last year & watching this video brought back all the emotions of graduation day. It'll be my turn soon, I'm joining the Marine Corps this summer!
Congrats to your sis becoming The Few. The Proud. The Marines. Anyways....I have to admit your choice of music for this vid made me had small tear coming down my cheek. Reminds me of myself graduating back in 1992. Since after that I been to 4 more graduation. My brother and 2 nephews. My recent was my niece last year in December. Great memories of that Island. Semper Fi.
I have a sister it right now in Boot Camp at Paris Island as well and I’m gonna be seeing her in February or January I don’t know but will be leaving on January 30 and I’m so excited to see her when I watch this video it made me cry and I’ll see her every soon and I’m excited to go to that store on base
Glad for your sister! The marines are a shadow from my days! Joined July 4th, 1971 M.C.R.D. No cell phones in those days. No Political correctness. The DI's were mean, and we had many fights, and drugs. There was no pampering for anyone. You learned that from day one. We were in old WW2 Quanset huts, that were hot inside. There were no new barracks that they have today. it was more raw back then. I was lucky, as I missed Vietnam by 6 months. Hard to believe looking back, and what memories. That was 46 years ago. 0311
You left and mom had no clue if you were alive or even what it was all about. Now they have the luxury of technology and Im not saying its for the better because when politicians and moms got wind of it, things changed to softer ways. Semper Fidelis
Beautiful video. You made me cried. I relived my son's graduation on June 2016. Thanks for your sister's service and definitely your family as well. Semper Fi
Hi, congrats on stepping out of the shadows and joining the Elite team. As a Former Marine, Drill Instructor and Recruiter, there's more to go. build on that foundation of doing some unique. you have a supportive family. I wish you the best. Semper Fi
Beautiful. It's truly something that will be with her and the family for a lifetime, I graduated October 28th 2016. I wish you all the best of luck. :)
Brings back good old memories. MCRD San Diego 1992. But dammit, they get shoe racks these days LOL. Great video and thanks for sharing. My daughter leaves for boot in Dec. Proud of her from a Marine viewpoint, but worried as a dad LOL
Yeah it is possible, my son is doin it!! He graduated from boot camp 18yrs old senior, now he is 19yrs old & is goin this summer for job training! Maybe u should check into that a little more!!!? The recruits came to the high school to recruit my son & others...they do that now a days, or at least here n Indiana where we're from!
I know it is a bit late...But congrats to your sister, she obviously did well in her boot camp experience...but really like congrats to her because she didn't break out under pressure with the instructors ... I couldn't even handle my mom 😂
When you said we are heading to the airport I am like they get shipped off after the graduation?! But then I noticed that y'all were heading back to L.A.
Seeing her go back to the yellow footprints as a marine was pretty touching not gonna lie😪 I ship out in October can't wait for the day I can do the same
How is it going for your sister? I may be going into the Marines through OCS, but am still up in the air in terms of which branch I want to go. I feel most drawn to the Marines though.
Hi! I loved this video! I'm going in about a week to see my boyfriend and I would like to make something like this. Can I ask how you created this? With an app? What camera did you use? What tools? Thank you so much!
In this year i'm going to marine, i feel happy, to serve this Country. I want know if was easy, i know that i have to be prepared mentally and emotionally. How was there??
Hey as you see my name is Josue I was wondering what part of LA you live in I might go to boot camp this july or august and was wondering if your sister to tell me her expirience. I would really apreciate it if you could get in contact with her and tell her I say congrats.
Hi I'm 12 I was at the same place u where except we went to go see my uncle I couldn't help to notice that your sister stepped on the yellow foot prints, my uncle told me I could not step on them cause you can only step on them once in your life to show that you will be a marine. He also did not step on them cause he said he is already a marine.there is no hate just wanted to tell you this, congratulations on your sister being a marine😀
Video made me cry! My daughter wants to join the Marines, and it makes me proud but at the same time NERVOUS! Blessings to your sister...
Thank you!
Your daughter will be blessed in the service ♥
