portico of san Diego California .
The Marine Corps has played an active
role in San Diego history ever since
Marines from the Super War Cyan sees
old town during the Mexican American
War . In 1846 . Marines have been
stationed at the recruit depot since
1921 . When most of the buildings your
front were constructed , these
buildings known as the arcade were
designed by world famous architect
Bertram Goodhue . The arcade is among
25 buildings that have qualified for
inclusion on the National Register of
Historic Places and are outstanding
examples of spanish colonial revival
architecture . Since 1923 more than a
million marines have completed their
recruit training here at the Marine
Corps recruit depot san Diego and since
1915 at the Marine Corps East Coast
recruit training depot at parris island
south Carolina . Regardless of where a
marine attended boot camp , you can
rest assured that they received the
toughest and most physically and
mentally demanding recruit training
offered anywhere in the world . Some
individual techniques and methods may
have evolved over the years but the
focus and adherence to our core values
of honor , courage and commitment are
as strong today as any time in our
history today . The marines of company
f accept the responsibilities to
safeguard this proud tradition as they
step forward to join this rich heritage
ahead of them . Live bright futures
that will no doubt add to the proud
marine legacy that they now rightfully
claim as their own corporal manny is a
three year old , full blooded english
bulldog . Born in Fallbrook California
on july 9th 2018 . He is named in honor
of Sargent john er Manolito senior one
of the original 29 Navajo code talkers
who trained in the first all my whole
platoon here aboard the depot . In 1942
Sergeant Manolito helped create the
code that the novel is developed at
Camp Elliot , now Marine Corps Air
Station Miramar , he became an
instructor , teaching other Navajo
marines . The Navajo code . Later
Sergeant Manolito participated in the
battle of Iwo Jima where marine signals
officer stated had it not been for the
code talkers we would have never taken .
Iwo Jima , corporal many continues the
tradition of a long line of marine
corporal dog mascots dating back to
1921 when Brigadier General Smedley
Butler appointed Sergeant Major Jigs as
the first bulldog mascot for Marine
Corps Barracks Quantico . He's being
escorted by the Office of Communication

Our
recruit training is comprised of
subjects required to produce . Basic
marines who function effectively in
garrison are trained in rudimentary
individual field and combat skills and
practice the personal and professional
traits which distinguish them as
marines . Examples of these traits are
discipline , the achievement of a state
of discipline which assures respect for
authority , instant and willing
obedience to orders and the self
reliance to maintain or improve those
traits which exemplify a marine
military bearing consistently
demonstrating military presence and
personal awareness , as well as the
proper wearing and maintenance of
uniforms ,
esprit decor , acquiring the common
spirit of the Marine corps that
inspires enthusiasm , devotion , pride ,
initiative , teamwork , aggressiveness ,
determination , moral courage ,
integrity , camaraderie and the burning
desire to work with and for others
towards excellence and common goals .
For 246 years , Marines have fought and
won whenever and wherever the nation
calls in the harshest conditions over
the most brutal terrain and against the
most formidable enemies . Marines
defend the ideals of freedom with grit
and tenacity . No battlefields change
and capabilities evolved . History
proves that true . Victory comes from
the individual marine with steel
resolve . The drive to overcome any
obstacle and the warrior spirit to
fight on against all odds . It takes
that steadfast faithfulness , semper
Fidelis to core country and each other
that abounds throughout our storied
legacy , marines today remain in combat
or deployed throughout the world
confronting every challenge with
courage , loyalty and faithfulness .
Their resolve to be most ready when the
nation is least ready to defend freedom
anytime and anywhere to stand ready to

disasters to pay tribute to those who

Lieutenant Colonel James R . Smith .
Good morning , ladies and gentlemen ,
on behalf of Brigadier General Jason L .
Morris , the Commanding General and
Marine Corps recruit depot san Diego
and the Western recruiting region as
well as on behalf of Colonel Joseph W .
Jones , the commanding officer of the
recruit training regiment . Welcome to
the graduation of Company F . I'd like
I'd
like to begin today by recognizing a
few groups vital to our mission
accomplishment . First and foremost to
the friends and families of these new
marines . Thank you for your love and
support on their journey to this day .
You laid the foundation which allowed
them to take the initial steps towards
becoming a marine . Your support
sustained them during recruit training
and will continue to be a source of
inspiration in their future . Vocation .
We're glad to have you as part of the
Marine Corps family . Thank you for
being here . Yeah .
To the families of Company F seated to
the right of the reviewing stand . No
one knows more than you the time and
dedication required to transform a
civilian into a marine sergeant major
and I are incredibly grateful for your
sacrifice and your support which allows
these drill instructors and officers to
perform this critical mission . Ladies
and gentlemen , a round of applause for
the families of Company F .
I'd like to recognize a parade
reviewing official Sergeant major
Sedano whose impressive bio you will
hear shortly And who currently serves
as a sergeant major of the Marine Air
Group 16 Sergeant major . We're honored
to have you . Thank you for being here .
Yeah .
Making marines is a team effort and at
the forefront of that effort , our
marine recruiters stationed around our
great country . These men and women
worked tirelessly to identify , educate
and inspire the next generation of
marines . Our other teammate in this
effort are the instructors at weapons
field training battalion , responsible
for teaching the combat skills
necessary to fight and win in any climb
in place . Ladies and gentlemen , a
round of applause for our recruiters
and our combat instructors .
Mhm . The last group I'd like to
recognize , certainly need no
introduction for everyone knows the
legendary And distinct campaign cover
of a Marine Corps drill instructor from
the moment a recruit arrives , there
was a drill instructor with them 24
hours a day , seven days a week
tirelessly instilling the qualities and
a spread a corps of the United States
marine and leaving an indelible mark on
those they lead . Trust me , your
marine will never forget the name , the
face or the gentle , loving voice of
their drill instructor . Now these
marines behind me are on average 18
year old high school graduates and one
has a college degree . They come to us
from every state and territory in the
western recruiting region and seven
countries around the world , some as
far away as kenya and Lebanon and when
they arrived and raised their right
hand and swore an oath to support and
defend the constitution of the United
States , They differentiated themselves
from 99% of their peers . Upon arrival ,
these drill instructors forged them in
the fires of martial discipline and
shape their minds and bodies in the
mold of generations of marines who have
worn our cloth . They prove themselves
capable by carrying heavy loads long
distances over mountainous terrain with
minimal food and sleep to be where
they're needed when they're needed to
accomplish any mission and you may have
noticed some changes in your marine .
They stand a little taller , look a
little leaner and sport an outstanding
haircut moms and dads , I promise they
know how to make their beds , but the
truly important changes the one that
has taken place inside for they have
been immersed in our core values of
honor , courage and commitment and by
virtue of standing here today , they've
embraced those as their own . And it's
because of this because of the journey
they have undergone And because of the
moral mental and physical development
they have displayed that . I am proud
to present 216 young marines who can
forever claim the title of the United
States Marine . Yeah .
Now I'd like to address these fine
young folks one last time .
Good morning marines ,
Sergeant Major and I are incredibly
proud of you . We've watched you work
strive and learn these past months and
we're pleased to welcome you to our
ranks . When you arrived here , you
affirmed a commitment of selfless
service to our core . These drill
instructors fan the flame inside of you
and now we trust you will keep it
burning brightly . You can be
justifiably proud of what you've
accomplished here . You've earned your
tan belts in our martial arts program .
Some of you learned to swim for the
very first time in our water survival
program and many of you overcame a fear
of heights and our confidence and
obstacle course . You learn weapons
employment to deliver precision fire on
targets from a staggering distance of
500 yards . And in a final test you
completed the grueling three day
crucible which required you to display
exemplary character , physical and
mental toughness , the ability to side
act and communicate leadership and a
war fighter spirit and every marine
past and present , expect you to use
those same attributes in your future
trials and so ,
having completed the longest and most
arduous recruit training on this globe ,
you stand ready to carry on our Marine
Corps tradition as America's naval
expeditionary force and readiness as
you go forward on the next leg of your
Marine Corps journey , I implore you to
be safe , be smart and make good
decisions . Remember that Eagle Globe
and anchor , which was pressed into the
palm of your hand atop the reaper ,
represents 246 years of marines who
have come before . You must always be
worthy of that legacy and protect what
you have earned and so on behalf of the
marines , sailors and civilians . Here
at Marine Corps recruit depot san Diego .
Let me offer you a traditional naval
parting of fair winds and following
seas . Congratulations Marines . Semper
Fidelis , Welcome to our core .
