bror General James Beerman I'm the Commanding General of ncrd San Diego and the Western recruiting reach and I want to welcome all of you to sunny Southern California and to MCRD San Diego let me start by introducing that great looking Marine who's out there running with me up front let start maker Quarterfield he's got his hand in the air and he's the senior listed Marine here at MCRD San Diego where are uh where are the Educators uh from uh from milwauke Indie you put your hands in there okay I don't know if we've got them over here but uh great glad to welcome them tomorrow to the uh to the graduation but hey I'll tell yall it's impossible for me ladies and and gentlemen not to be pumped up and motivated as I stand here in front of a company of America's newest United States Marines Lima Company and then I look back at all the great folks who had everything to do with these marines being here in Marine Corps we like to say we recruit the Marine but we enlist the family and so on behalf of the 37th common of the Marine Corps General Bob neller I want to welcome all of you to your new extended family the United States Marine tourah I'm very much reminded as I look over the ranks of this great Marine company that none of these young men none of these marines got here on their own and the people who had everything to do with all their success a lot of them are right here in this horseshoe and then there's many others waiting for their return back in Hometown America but I want to thank all of you for a couple things you've already done and for some things that I know you're going to continue to do first of all I want to thank all of you particularly you moms thank you for entrusting your precious Marine your son your family member to the United States Marine Corp and then secondly I want to thank all of you for the support that you provided to your Marine while he was undergoing this right of passage that his Marine Corps entry level training boot camp we're very proud of the fact and we make no apologies for the fact that Marine Corps food Camp is the longest and the toughest entry level training of any service in the world but for your Marine it wasn't quite as tough as it might have otherwise been because he knew when he hit the rack at the end of a long day when he rolled out of that rack at Zero Dark 30 he knew that they're out there somewhere there were some great folks who were thinking about him who were rooting for him who were praying for him him and he knew that he was never far from your minds and I promise you it made all the difference during this last tough 12 and 1/2 weeks and then ladies and gentlemen I want to thank you now in advance for the support you're going to continue to provide to these marines as they head off to continue their time in the Marine Corps but wherever they Marine Corp Journey takes them inside these United States deployed overseas maybe to combat wherever they end up going they're going to continue to need all the love and support that you showed them up to this point so thank you in advance for that what an exciting future is in store for each every one of these marines from Lima Company tomorrow's graduation at the conclusion of graduation they're going to head home for plus or minus 10 days of very well-deserved lead and yeah and and they've earned every bit of that and catch up on some long lost sleep spend some time with all of you but I also need to ask for uh for all of your health when it comes to that LE what's probably not the right approach to their leave is for them to try to make up for in uh in 10 days everything that they've missed over the last 3 months and they'll try it if you let but I need you all kind of get OverWatch they're Marines now they're adults are taken care of it's been a long time since they've been behind the wheel of a car it's been a long time since they had a beer it's been a long time since they've been around a young lady so again these are things where they're going to need to need to Pace himself but seriously there's nothing that's more of a gut punch for me and the sard major in our 2 and2 years here that to preside over one of these awesome graduations and then to get the word sometime over the next week that one of these young men is G home and uh and been killed or seriously injured so uh so let's all work together on that and thank you for thank you for your help there when the Marines return from their boot leave they're to conduct their combat training up the road to Camp pedon then they'll head to their MOS schools where we're going to teach them their specific job and then they're going to join the ranks of for deployed Marines and sailors all over the world that are out there protecting our American values and our way of life it's a very exciting future I want to extend an invitation to all of you tomorrow morning at 08 we're going to observe more morning colors and if I can if I can talk in to get out the rack a little bit early it would be great if you could be in place about 7:30 or 7:45 cuz it's going to be a big surge of people trying to get on the base but if I can talk at it getting out of the rack a little bit early uh I think you'll find that was worth your time in that short and meaningful ceremony you're going to get to see United States Marines take care of the colors of our great Republic I'm going to introduce you to some small representative groups that are there because they represent larger units and formations that have at a hand in the uh in the training and transformation of your marine and uh and I think if you come to that it'll put the graduation which is going to occur at 10:00 into into better focus if you show up a little bit early it won't all be dead time we're going to have the MCRD band playing and uh there's going to be award p red and you'll enjoy it before I turn and address these marines I'd like to get your help in recognizing two very special groups first of all regardless of whether you're a man or a woman regardless of what branch or the Armed Forces you may have served in whether it was a time of war or watchful beast but if you've ever worn the uniform of a member of the United States Armed Forces put your hand in the air and ladies and gentlemen join me a round of applause [Applause] than and secondly ladies and gentlemen I'd like to ask if you could join me in recognizing the officers and the drill instructors of Lima Company more than any other group these drill instructors are the heart and soul of the transformation that occurs at Marine Corps boot camp and they are in it heart and soul in a lot of cases they put their own young families on the back burner because they're so focused on doing everything it takes to make the world's greatest fighting men and women United States Marines please if you would join me a round of applause to show appreci ladies and gentlemen I'm going to take a minute and uh and talk to these Mar from ly good morning [Music] Marines Marines I want to tell all of you how proud I am of each and every one of you at some point in the past for some reasons that are special and unique to each one of you and then probably also for some reasons you share with some of the Marines to your left or your right you made the decision to become a United States Marine and then you have the guts and the stick toess and the intestinal fortitude to see that commitment through and now you've earned the title and you're United States Marines you're the worthy successors to all our history and tradition in the Marine Corps you recruit ERS promised you a challenge and these Grill instructors have delivered on that promise in the short time I have left as your Commanding General I got one final task for all of you at the earliest opportunity and that may in some cases be this afternoon or that may have to wait till you uh till you get back home in Hometown America but at the earliest opportunity you look the people in the I they have had a hand in your success and you become a United States Marine and you thank them that may be a hug that may be a firm handshake but you look him in the eye and you tell them everything that they mean to you that may be one of the Marines to your left or right that may be your drill instructors that may be a member your family standing here or waiting for your return or that may be a coach or teacher but you've grown up a lot in the last 3 months and one of the things you realize is there's too many things in your life that you've been taken for granted so you fix that at the first opportunity you heard me talk to your family members about the near future hey Marines it's going to be awesome don't let anybody tell you that your combat training is forth phas of boot camp it's not your United States Marines but it will be tough and it will be challenging and you need to show up in shape with your game faces on ready to train when you go home on leave make good decisions spend the time with uh with your family members catch up on some long lost sleep eat that nasty food we've been keeping from you but don't forget who you are and that you're a United States Marine and on that note the last thing I'll say Marines is as you leave this Depot don't ever forget what these Grill instructors have taught you you're United States Marines 24 hours a day 7 days a week in uniform out of uniform on duty off duty and you need to live and show our core values of Honor courage and
