San Diego and the Western region as
well is on behalf of Peter M Rumler ,
commanding officer of the recruit
training reg . Welcome to the
graduation of company G to start . I'd
like to recognize today's parade .
Reviewing official Sergeant Mayor
Christy Valdez , whose impressive
biography , you will be a short and who
currently serves as a sergeant major
for Marine Aviation Logistics squadron
16 aboard air station Miar here in
California . Sergeant Mayor . Thank you
for joining us today . Thanks for all
that you've done for the Marines for
this unit and welcome back to the Gold
Standard .
I'd also like to recognize the special
guests of the Commander General , a
group of educators from states across
the western region who spent the past
couple of days in learning about the
process of making marines and for
the youth of this country .
It's my pleasure to speak to you this
morning for just a few minutes to
express both the pride and the
gratitude which I feel for this
information behind me . And that begins
with you , the friends and families of
these new marines . Thank you for
trusting us with your loved ones .
Thank you for your love and support on
their journey to this momentous day .
And thank you for your continued
support in their new vocation from all
of us . Welcome to the Marine Corps
family
and speaking of families , seated to
the right of the reviewing stand or the
families that accompany eg staff and no
one knows more than you the time and
dedication that it takes to transform a
civilian into a United States Marine
sergeant major . And I are you
sacrificing your support which enables
these drill instructors and officers to
perform this task . Ladies and
gentlemen , you join me in a round of
applause . The families of God's
company ,
you know , Mega Marines is truly a team
effort and at the forefront of that
effort are marine recruiters stationed
across this great country . These men
and women work tirelessly to identify ,
educate and inspire the next generation
of marines . This legion of recruiters
are represented today by Staff Sergeant
King and recruiting substation ,
Weatherford Texas , who is responsible
for guiding the company undergraduate
by the first class walker into our
corps . And for any of you , 17 or 28
year olds out here , inspired by what
you see . My honor recruiter has
assured me he'll be available to speak
to you immediately following graduation .
Our other partner in the endeavor to
make marines are the instructors of
weapon Steel Training Battalion who
teach the critical combat skills
necessary to fight and win in any
climbing place . They're represented
today by Corporal Foster , the top
performing marksmanship instructor from
the rifle range . Ladies and gentlemen ,
a round of applause for our recruiters
and our combat instructors . Well ,
marine ,
the last group I'd like to recognize
certainly needs no introduction , but
everyone knows the distinct campaign
cover of a legendary Marine corps drill
instructor . And from the moment a
recruit arrives here on the depot ,
there is a drill instructor 24 hours a
day , seven days a week , tirelessly
instilling the qualities and a screen 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
sweet , gentle , tender loving voice of
their drill instructor . Would you join
me the final round of applause for the
Marine debate , Marines . The drill
instructor . What about Friday
and these marines behind me are on
average 19 year old high school
graduates and two have college degrees .
They come to us from every state and
territory in the western recruiting
region in seven countries around the
world . Having emigrated from places
like Bulgaria , Guatemala and the
Philippines . And when they raised
their right hand and sworn to support
and defend the Constitution of the
United States , they differentiate
themselves from 99% of their peers upon
arrival . Here , these drones start to
forge them in fires of martial
discipline , shaping their minds and
bodies and the mold generations of
marines were born on . These new
marines prove themselves worthy and
capable of carrying heavy loads long
distances over rugged mountainous
terrain to be where they're needed and
when they're needed to accomplish any
mission , now you may notice some
change here , Marie , you stand a
little taller with a little win it for
an outstanding Marine Corps hairstyle
and moms and dads . I guarantee they
know how to make their beds . But the
truly important change , the one which
has taken place within where they have
been immersed in our core values of
honor , courage , and commitment and by
virtue of standing here today , they
have embraced them as their own . And
it is because of this , because of the
journey they have undergone and because
of the moral , mental and physical be ,
they have displayed that I am pleased
to present 322 young men and women who
can forever proudly claim the title
United States Marine .
If you excuse me in just a minute , I'd
like to address the newest members of
our court .
