Not 32:03.989 --> 32:06.211 only is it an honor to have you with us 32:06.211 --> 32:08.100 today ? But we thank you for what 32:08.100 --> 32:10.267 you've done for this cop and country . 32:19.609 --> 32:21.776 I'd like to take a few moments to talk 32:21.776 --> 32:23.831 about why I am so proud of the young 32:23.831 --> 32:26.053 men . You've come to see graduate . But 32:26.053 --> 32:28.053 first let me draw your attention to 32:28.053 --> 32:30.220 these impressive marines wearing those 32:30.220 --> 32:32.220 distinctive green campaign covers . 32:32.220 --> 32:33.887 They certainly do not need an 32:33.887 --> 32:35.942 introduction from me for we all know 32:35.942 --> 32:37.887 them as the legendary Marine Corps 32:37.887 --> 32:39.942 drill instructor . From the moment a 32:39.942 --> 32:41.887 recruit arrives aboard the depot . 32:41.887 --> 32:43.998 There is a drill instructor with them 32:43.998 --> 32:46.053 24 hours a day , seven days a week . 32:46.053 --> 32:48.380 Everywhere they go for is the drill 32:48.390 --> 32:50.501 instructor . That is the heartbeat of 32:50.501 --> 32:52.668 what it takes to transition a civilian 32:52.668 --> 32:55.420 into United States marine of the 32:55.430 --> 32:57.263 thousands of people we will meet 32:57.263 --> 32:59.541 throughout our lives . Let's be honest , 32:59.541 --> 33:01.597 most of them , we will forget but no 33:01.597 --> 33:04.699 marine anywhere will ever forget the 33:04.709 --> 33:08.670 name , the face or the gentle loving 33:08.680 --> 33:12.339 voice of their drill instructor . Also 33:12.349 --> 33:14.516 seated by the reviewing stands are the 33:14.516 --> 33:16.460 families of the officers and drill 33:16.460 --> 33:18.460 instructors of Lima Company . These 33:18.460 --> 33:20.460 families know first hand the time , 33:20.460 --> 33:22.516 dedication and sacrifice it takes to 33:22.516 --> 33:24.516 make marines and we could not do it 33:24.516 --> 33:24.329 without their love and support . So 33:24.339 --> 33:26.506 would you please join me in a round of 33:26.506 --> 33:28.395 applause for the families of Lima 33:28.395 --> 33:28.150 company ? 33:36.910 --> 33:39.021 We also know that making Marines is a 33:39.021 --> 33:41.188 team effort and it all begins with the 33:41.188 --> 33:43.243 hard working Marine Corps recruiters 33:43.243 --> 33:42.989 who are spread throughout this great 33:43.000 --> 33:45.167 country of ours . Today . Marine Corps 33:45.167 --> 33:47.222 recruiting command is represented by 33:47.222 --> 33:49.222 staff Sarge Rodriguez of recruiting 33:49.222 --> 33:51.278 substation , Arlington Texas staffer 33:51.278 --> 33:53.278 Rodriguez was the recruiter for our 33:53.278 --> 33:55.444 company honor graduate private , first 33:55.444 --> 33:57.611 class Flores . It was staff sergeant , 33:57.611 --> 33:59.833 Rodriguez who first gave PFC Flores the 33:59.833 --> 34:01.889 opportunity to earn the title Marine 34:01.889 --> 34:03.833 Outstanding job , Staff sergeant . 34:10.090 --> 34:12.146 Now let me turn my attention back to 34:12.146 --> 34:14.201 the remarkable young men standing in 34:14.201 --> 34:16.201 this formation behind me . They are 34:16.201 --> 34:18.423 truly some of the best this country has 34:18.423 --> 34:20.423 to offer . When they arrived here . 34:20.423 --> 34:22.646 They were young and fit 19 years old on 34:22.646 --> 34:24.646 average and already in better shape 34:24.646 --> 34:26.757 than most people . Their age , 95% of 34:26.757 --> 34:28.923 them are high school graduates . Three 34:28.923 --> 34:31.034 of them have already earned a college 34:31.034 --> 34:32.812 degree . But furthermore , they 34:32.812 --> 34:34.868 displayed a courage and a commitment 34:34.868 --> 34:36.923 that most of their peers could never 34:36.923 --> 34:38.923 muster when they raised their right 34:38.923 --> 34:40.868 hand and swore that solemn oath to 34:40.868 --> 34:43.034 support and defend the Constitution of 34:43.034 --> 34:44.979 the United States . They come from 34:44.979 --> 34:47.034 every expanse of the globe . In this 34:47.034 --> 34:49.090 case , 12 different countries , some 34:49.090 --> 34:51.600 are from as far away as South Africa or 34:51.610 --> 34:53.929 Iran . Others are from just across the 34:53.939 --> 34:56.770 street here in San Diego . But it was a 34:56.780 --> 34:58.949 single goal that brought the 207 of 34:58.959 --> 35:01.015 them together . And that goal was to 35:01.015 --> 35:03.790 earn the title marine . Three months 35:03.800 --> 35:06.022 ago , they embarked on the world's most 35:06.022 --> 35:08.189 demanding entry level training as they 35:08.189 --> 35:10.244 got off those buses and they stepped 35:10.244 --> 35:11.911 foot into our historic yellow 35:11.911 --> 35:14.139 footprints . And trust me throughout 35:14.149 --> 35:16.371 their time here , they have undoubtedly 35:16.371 --> 35:18.427 been tested . They have been trained 35:18.427 --> 35:20.482 and evaluated in the attributes that 35:20.482 --> 35:23.020 make the core both unique and deadly we 35:23.030 --> 35:24.863 have developed in each of them a 35:24.863 --> 35:27.086 physical and mental toughness that will 35:27.086 --> 35:29.086 never quit or give up . Despite the 35:29.086 --> 35:31.141 odds , they've been indoctrinated in 35:31.141 --> 35:33.197 our core values of honor , courage , 35:33.197 --> 35:35.030 and commitment so that we create 35:35.030 --> 35:37.141 marines of exemplary character , both 35:37.141 --> 35:39.760 at peace and at war . They've been 35:39.770 --> 35:41.659 trained in battlefield tested war 35:41.659 --> 35:43.548 fighting skills so that when this 35:43.548 --> 35:46.229 nation calls its marines always win . 35:47.179 --> 35:48.901 And thanks to the marksmanship 35:48.901 --> 35:51.012 instructors at weapons field training 35:51.012 --> 35:53.123 battalion up in Camp Pendleton , when 35:53.123 --> 35:55.457 these marines arrive on their objective , 35:55.457 --> 35:54.899 they are capable of delivering 35:54.909 --> 35:57.469 precision rifle fire at a pinpoint 35:57.479 --> 35:59.709 target at staggering distances out to 35:59.719 --> 36:02.280 500 yards . Today , weapons Field 36:02.290 --> 36:04.346 Training battalion is represented by 36:04.346 --> 36:06.568 Sergeant Jones who was the marksmanship 36:06.568 --> 36:08.846 instructor for a high shooting platoon , 36:08.846 --> 36:11.012 platoon , 32 53 outstanding job . This 36:11.012 --> 36:12.401 cycle , Sergeant Jones . 36:19.090 --> 36:21.090 And finally , we created small unit 36:21.090 --> 36:23.034 leaders out of each of them and we 36:23.034 --> 36:25.146 evaluated their ability to decide act 36:25.146 --> 36:26.923 and communicate with a bias for 36:26.923 --> 36:29.146 intelligent action for that is what the 36:29.146 --> 36:31.034 future operating environment will 36:31.034 --> 36:34.250 demand . Now , in addition to all of 36:34.260 --> 36:36.129 that , I hope that yesterday you 36:36.139 --> 36:38.083 noticed a few other upgrades we've 36:38.083 --> 36:40.250 installed , they should have stood a 36:40.260 --> 36:43.129 little taller , they certainly looked a 36:43.139 --> 36:45.510 little leaner . They should have looked 36:45.520 --> 36:47.464 in the eyes and said these strange 36:47.464 --> 36:50.290 phrases like , yes , sir . Yes , ma'am . 36:51.479 --> 36:53.479 Moms and dads . It should be a long 36:53.479 --> 36:55.479 time before you have to tell one of 36:55.479 --> 36:57.812 these marines to get a job or a haircut . 36:57.812 --> 36:59.979 And I assure you that they know how to 36:59.979 --> 37:01.923 clean up after themselves and make 37:01.923 --> 37:04.679 their beds . But it is the change 37:04.689 --> 37:07.320 within that we are the most proud of 37:07.479 --> 37:09.646 for after having been indoctrinated in 37:09.646 --> 37:11.868 our core values . And then by virtue of 37:11.868 --> 37:13.923 the fact that they are standing here 37:13.923 --> 37:16.146 today means that they've embraced those 37:16.146 --> 37:18.035 values as their own . And so it's 37:18.035 --> 37:20.201 because of this journey they have made 37:20.201 --> 37:22.146 because of the physical mental and 37:22.146 --> 37:24.257 moral development they've displayed , 37:24.257 --> 37:26.257 which was built upon the foundation 37:26.257 --> 37:28.312 that you all laid that I am proud to 37:28.312 --> 37:31.070 present 207 young men who through their 37:31.080 --> 37:35.020 own blood , sweat and tears can now and 37:35.030 --> 37:38.399 forever claim the title United States 37:38.409 --> 37:39.090 Marine . 37:49.399 --> 37:51.288 And now if you'll excuse me for a 37:51.288 --> 37:53.455 moment while I address our new Marines 37:53.455 --> 37:54.455 one last time . 37:58.370 --> 38:02.360 Good morning Marines . Did 38:02.370 --> 38:06.250 you all hear that ? That is 38:06.260 --> 38:09.409 pure pride , that is pride in 38:09.419 --> 38:11.510 themselves , pride in the title that 38:11.520 --> 38:14.610 they have earned now , Lima Company . I 38:14.620 --> 38:16.564 know when you arrived here so many 38:16.564 --> 38:18.787 weeks ago , the last thing on your mind 38:18.787 --> 38:20.929 was graduation . You are probably 38:20.939 --> 38:23.870 thinking , what in the world have I 38:23.879 --> 38:26.699 gotten myself into ? And how do I get 38:26.709 --> 38:29.699 them to stop yelling at me ? 38:30.729 --> 38:32.951 But you stay in here today as America's 38:32.951 --> 38:34.896 newest marines having accomplished 38:34.896 --> 38:36.951 something that most would never dare 38:36.951 --> 38:39.007 attempt . And when you get home this 38:39.007 --> 38:38.159 weekend , people are going to look up 38:38.169 --> 38:40.280 to you . They're going to be proud of 38:40.280 --> 38:42.391 you as they should . And your friends 38:42.391 --> 38:44.502 are going to ask you how you did it . 38:45.110 --> 38:47.332 And when they ask you that , I want you 38:47.332 --> 38:49.332 to take him for a walk down to your 38:49.332 --> 38:51.979 recruiting station and introduce them 38:51.989 --> 38:54.620 to your recruiters because I can 38:54.629 --> 38:56.770 promise you your drill instructors . 38:57.770 --> 38:59.770 Well , they would love to meet your 38:59.770 --> 39:02.439 friends . But remember that with this 39:02.449 --> 39:04.629 new title comes a great responsibility 39:04.770 --> 39:06.992 for the strength of the Marine Corps is 39:06.992 --> 39:09.214 not found in a weapon system or a piece 39:09.214 --> 39:11.326 of equipment . It is found in the war 39:11.326 --> 39:11.129 fighting spirit of the individual 39:11.139 --> 39:13.389 marine that is what matters most in 39:13.399 --> 39:15.709 combat . And that is what makes us 39:15.719 --> 39:18.520 different . This world is a dangerous 39:18.530 --> 39:20.969 and chaotic place , but that is why we 39:20.979 --> 39:23.600 have you . And the legacy of our core 39:23.610 --> 39:25.666 of not only being the first to fight 39:25.666 --> 39:28.120 but to always win belongs to you . Now , 39:28.129 --> 39:30.669 for safe keeping that eagle Glow , an 39:30.679 --> 39:32.790 anchor that we handed you on . Top of 39:32.790 --> 39:35.600 the Reaper represents 247 years of all 39:35.610 --> 39:37.666 of the marines that have gone before 39:37.666 --> 39:40.080 you to be proud of yourself , be proud 39:40.090 --> 39:42.090 of what you have accomplished , but 39:42.090 --> 39:44.146 remember who you now are and who you 39:44.146 --> 39:46.550 now represent .
