36:08.741 --> 36:10.852
these individuals do not need much of

36:10.852 --> 36:12.908
an introduction that the individuals

36:25.586 --> 36:27.830
hours a day , seven days a week for

36:27.830 --> 36:29.774
they are the very heart of what it

36:34.840 --> 36:37.470

36:46.416 --> 36:48.416
their adrenal instructor . And so I

36:48.416 --> 36:50.638
encourage you after today's ceremony to

36:50.638 --> 36:52.860
come down and thank some of these drill

36:52.860 --> 36:52.600
instructors for their service . Ladies

36:52.600 --> 36:54.767

36:56.989 --> 36:57.989
Mhm . Okay .

37:04.730 --> 37:06.841
And now I'd like to tell you a little

37:06.841 --> 37:08.952
bit about these new marines and about

37:08.952 --> 37:08.880
the training that they just went

37:08.890 --> 37:11.057
through . You see when they first came

37:11.057 --> 37:13.710
here , they were fit young already in

37:13.710 --> 37:15.932
better shape than most people their age

37:15.932 --> 37:19.170
on average , they were 19 years old and

37:19.170 --> 37:21.400
99% of them were high school graduates

37:21.410 --> 37:23.299
and four of them even had college

37:23.299 --> 37:26.910
degrees . Furthermore , they displayed

37:26.920 --> 37:29.440
the courage and commitment that few of

37:29.440 --> 37:31.610
their peers can muster when they raise

37:31.610 --> 37:34.500
their right hand , swore solemn oath to

37:34.500 --> 37:36.890
support and defend the constitution and

37:36.890 --> 37:38.946
then traveled here from across every

37:38.946 --> 37:40.890
state and territory in the western

37:40.890 --> 37:42.723
recruiting region and nine other

37:42.723 --> 37:44.668
countries across this globe , some

37:44.710 --> 37:48.480
coming as far as spain Vietnam and the

37:48.480 --> 37:51.050
Philippines and others from right here

37:51.050 --> 37:53.250
within SAn Diego . And when they

37:53.250 --> 37:55.580
arrived here . Well that's when steel

37:55.580 --> 37:58.270
began to sharpen steel as these drill

37:58.270 --> 38:00.270
instructors forged them through the

38:00.270 --> 38:02.340
fires of the crucible into a tightly

38:02.350 --> 38:04.750
cohesive group of physically fit ,

38:04.760 --> 38:07.250
disciplined marines , honing their

38:07.250 --> 38:10.680
minds and their bodies until they prove

38:10.680 --> 38:12.770
themselves capable of walking long

38:12.770 --> 38:15.420
distances across mountainous terrain

38:15.420 --> 38:17.800
with minimal food and sleep to be where

38:17.800 --> 38:19.967
they are needed when they're needed to

38:19.967 --> 38:22.022
accomplish the mission . Now many of

38:22.022 --> 38:23.967
you have seen some of the physical

38:23.967 --> 38:26.022
changes when you saw your new marine

38:26.022 --> 38:27.967
yesterday , but I want to tell you

38:27.967 --> 38:30.189
about the most important change because

38:30.189 --> 38:32.356
it is one that has occurred within for

38:32.356 --> 38:34.467
they have been thoroughly immersed in

38:34.467 --> 38:37.690
our core values of honor , courage and

38:37.690 --> 38:40.010
commitment and just by virtue of them

38:40.010 --> 38:41.899
standing here today means they've

38:41.899 --> 38:44.420
accepted those values as their own and

38:44.420 --> 38:46.253
it's because of this because the

38:46.253 --> 38:48.253
journey that they have made and the

38:48.253 --> 38:51.330
physical Mental and moral development

38:51.330 --> 38:53.441
that they have displayed that through

38:53.441 --> 38:55.497
their blood , sweat and tears . They

38:55.497 --> 38:57.497

those legendary yellow footprints for

40:46.041 --> 40:48.770
demonstrate leadership initiative and a

40:48.770 --> 40:51.230
bias for intelligent action until you
