It's great to see you and welcome

33:13.140 --> 33:15.251
Ladies and gentlemen . The purpose of

33:15.251 --> 33:17.418
today's ceremony is to recognize these

33:17.418 --> 33:19.362
new marines and everything they've

33:19.362 --> 33:21.473
accomplished . Their journey began 13

33:21.473 --> 33:23.696
long weeks ago when they stepped on the

33:23.696 --> 33:23.250
yellow footprints and committed to

33:23.250 --> 33:25.450
becoming marines . They arrived as

33:25.450 --> 33:28.100
individuals perhaps a little unsure of

33:28.100 --> 33:30.267
their decision but stand before you as

33:30.267 --> 33:32.489
a confident team of smartly disciplined

33:32.489 --> 33:34.656
marines . During the past three months

33:34.656 --> 33:36.600
we developed their physical mental

33:36.600 --> 33:38.767
toughness . They learned essential war

33:38.767 --> 33:40.544
fighting skills and they proved

33:40.544 --> 33:40.520
themselves to be leaders of character .

33:40.550 --> 33:42.720
But most of all they came to embrace

33:42.720 --> 33:44.998
our core val values of honor , courage ,

33:44.998 --> 33:46.664
and commitment , with a clear

33:46.664 --> 33:48.553
understanding that being a marine

33:48.553 --> 33:50.720
carries a special trust and confidence

33:50.720 --> 33:52.720
and the highest expectations of the

33:52.720 --> 33:54.664
american people . Now as you might

33:54.664 --> 33:57.570
imagine , this awesome and very magical

33:57.570 --> 33:59.970
transformation didn't happen by itself .

34:00.020 --> 34:02.076
And I'd like to thank those who were

34:02.076 --> 34:04.131
involved . First , we recognize each

34:04.131 --> 34:06.187
marine's journey started long before

34:06.187 --> 34:08.409
they got here . The foundation of their

34:08.409 --> 34:10.353
character started with you in your

34:10.353 --> 34:12.270
homes and your schools and your

34:12.270 --> 34:14.381
communities . I want to thank all the

34:14.381 --> 34:16.690
parents , families , friends as well as

34:16.690 --> 34:18.690

34:18.690 --> 34:20.746
you've done . I assure you that your

34:20.746 --> 34:22.690
love and your support was vital to

34:22.690 --> 34:24.968
their success . So thank you very much .

spouses and their families who

35:07.227 --> 35:09.338

36:17.274 --> 36:21.130
marines . Hey off a company . I

36:21.130 --> 36:23.297
know it seems like a lifetime ago when

36:23.297 --> 36:25.186
you were offered the challenge of

36:25.186 --> 36:27.408
becoming a marine . When you arrived on

36:27.408 --> 36:29.519
your busses and stepped on the yellow

36:29.519 --> 36:31.574
footprints , graduation was the last

36:31.574 --> 36:31.410
thing on your mind . You're probably

36:31.410 --> 36:33.940
thinking , what have I gotten myself

36:33.940 --> 36:36.051
into ? And how do I get these guys to

36:36.051 --> 36:38.290
stop yelling at me ? Well , you had a

36:38.290 --> 36:40.457
lot to learn and some very steep hills

36:40.457 --> 36:42.512
to climb . But you did it . You have

36:42.512 --> 36:46.090
rightfully earned the title Marine . Be

36:46.090 --> 36:48.090
proud of your accomplishment in the

36:48.090 --> 36:51.000
uniform that you now wear . And finally ,

36:51.010 --> 36:52.954
as I remarked on your first day of

36:52.954 --> 36:55.121
training , whether you served for four

36:55.121 --> 36:57.260
years or 31 years like the sergeant

36:57.260 --> 37:00.580
major . Remember it's not about you .

37:01.660 --> 37:03.660
It's about all the marines who have

37:03.660 --> 37:05.716
gone before you whose legacy you are

37:05.716 --> 37:07.882
not a part of . It's about that marine

37:07.882 --> 37:10.216
standing to your left and to your right .

37:10.216 --> 37:12.160
It's about all these people in the

37:12.160 --> 37:14.327
stands and this great nation which you

37:14.327 --> 37:17.310
sworn to defend . So serve with honor ,

37:19.460 --> 37:21.440
commitment and you'll do well ,

The marine course uniqueness and

50:44.413 --> 50:46.580

50:46.580 --> 50:48.636
directly attributable to magnificent

50:48.636 --> 50:50.691
efforts of the drill instructors and

50:50.691 --> 50:52.413
company officers who train and

50:52.413 --> 50:54.524
supervise the recruits . The distinct

50:54.524 --> 50:56.580

51:02.858 --> 51:02.700
and relationship with their drill

51:02.700 --> 51:04.990
instructors and officers . Recruit

51:04.990 --> 51:07.157
training is the very foundation of the

51:07.157 --> 51:09.046
core . Each year recruit training

51:09.046 --> 51:11.212
provides thousands of America's finest

51:11.212 --> 51:13.157
young men and women with the basic

51:13.157 --> 51:15.268
knowledge and skills to function in a

51:15.268 --> 51:17.490

51:22.446 --> 51:24.680

51:24.680 --> 51:26.840
what we do here for the Marines

51:26.840 --> 51:28.840
graduating today . The long arduous

51:28.840 --> 51:30.951
journey of the last 13 weeks is but a

51:30.951 --> 51:32.840
small step into the future of the

51:32.840 --> 51:35.007
Marine Corps . As they prepare to fill

51:35.007 --> 51:37.229
the ranks of our core , they do so with

51:37.229 --> 51:39.229
unquestionable support for the high

51:39.229 --> 51:41.173
ideals and standards of the United

51:41.173 --> 51:43.396
States of America and the United States

51:43.396 --> 51:45.284

51:56.660 --> 51:59.380

51:59.380 --> 52:01.380
intense initial training that every

52:01.380 --> 52:03.602
marine undergoes is designed to instill

52:03.602 --> 52:05.547
the fundamental premise that every

52:05.547 --> 52:06.824
marine is a rifleman .
