Recruit Graduation

On May 9th Tyler had graduation. At the end of every cycle the recruit es who made it through become official Marines and they have a huge graduation ceremony. This was the first one Tyler actually had to participate in. He had to lead his series, he was a little nervous since he hadn't done drill since OCS. He did awesome though and didn't make any mistakes. Below are some pictures from graduation.

Me and Tyler, doesn't he look amazing in his uniform.

This is the General (the little lady), she is in charge of all MCRD (Marine Corps Recruit Depot).



This is MCRD mascot Molly. The Marines have the bull-dog as their mascot. I guess during WWI the Germans referred to the Marines as "devil-dogs". Which is why our blog is "devildogfam".
