Parris Island - Marines Graduation - Lima Co - Apr 8, 2022

[@christinecunningham1014]

So touching and so proud! Your son is a Marine! This is so impressive it brought tears to my eyes. He is not the same person he was when he went in. He will be calling everybody "Mam" and "Sir." So happy for you and. your family...Be Proud!!!

[@BobMazzo]

Thank you for watching Christine. It was an incredible experience - and we are so proud.

[@MMConsultinggroup]

Awwww, in the middle of this video, when they were sitting at the table around the 12:30 minute marker, the way the Marine's little brother was listening to him so intently when he was sharing his experiences was very moving. You can tell how much he looks up to him. That was very heartwarming to see

[@BobMazzo]

Thanks for your kind words. We are very blessed with two wonderful boys.

Great video and he will appreciate it more so much in decades ahead. It was an odd feeling leaving MCRD, almost as if not knowing what to expect back in the civi world lol. Congrats to your boy, although he is a young man indeed as a parent myself now they will always be that regardless haha. Semper Fidelis and carry on!

[@aprilmarsh8725]

Congratulations Mr. Mazzo, I know your a very proud father to see your son graduate from the marines 🇺🇸🇺🇸. And thank you for sharing that very special moment with us. My nephew Jacob Hitt just left sunday May 15th 2022 from Asheville NC. To Parris island SC. To become a marine. So any information would be greatly appreciated. And my family thanks you so much for this video of your son's graduation. James looked very sharp in his uniform and I know you were very proud that your son is a honorary Cadet 🤩. He is now a marine 🥳. That's so Awesome!!!! But again thank you so very much for this video ❤💕💞💝💖 And if you know what hotel would be the best to be close to the marine base for family day and graduation day and a really good restaurant for taking the family to after graduation. April Marsh Greenville SC.

[@BobMazzo]

Hi and thank you for your kind words. I wish God's blessings on Jacob on his journey. As far as hotels, I don't know cause we stayed with family. Let me get the Facebook link for the PI groups. They are very helpful.

[@BobMazzo]

Go here and join. Then you will find a more focused group for the May 15 ship date. facebook.com/groups/mcrdpi3rdbn/?ref=share . Write a post to introduce yourself, and provide information about which Company your nephew is on (i.e Lima, Kilo, H, etc.), and when his ship date was (when he left, I mean).

[@CAJUNBOY911]

I remember leaving bootcamp when these kids got there in January

[@BobMazzo]

Congrats to you, and God bless, Marine !

[@LearnItalianconLAmericano]

That's one proud Marine ! Tanti auguri figlio mio !

[@joelleson3313]

This excellent band has a fine drummer. I'm sure that he'd qualify for the US Marine Drum and Bugle Corps, "The Commandant's Own", Marine Corps Barracks, Washigton, DC.

[@BobMazzo]

I really enjoyed listening to that band. In fact, I enjoyed both days at P.I. What a fantastic experience. So proud ! 💪

[@高木三樹-e3z]

Thank you very much for uploading many times. Now, I don't have any appropriate parts to present you, I wil write down your squad and will surely send to you soon.

[@seriouslyquestionable]

AYOOOOO, Ssgt Cisse was my knowledge hat last year, i was 3024 honor plt, he was a sergeant at the time, and sgt Hueyjordain was my drill hat, nice to see that they became senior drill instructors.

[@aichatousaidjodiallo7634]

Oh mazzo he was in my brother platoon ☺️

[@BobMazzo]

Awesome thanks for stopping by.

[@jordanfoulkscott7381]

I was supposed to graduate that day and then I got hurt

[@BobMazzo]

My friend. I'm so sorry about that ! Did you get delayed then? Hopefully not too long, Jordan.

[@myrddin3195]

Is there "NO height requirement" in our Marine Corps?

[@BobMazzo]

it appears there is not.

[@Verglas_McGee]

Tell him to be strong mentally because he is gonna meet not only great people but his fair share of shitty leadership too.

[@BobMazzo]

He is strong mentally, but thank you for your advice.

[@marks6406]

Semper Fi Uncle Chuck a Vietnam Marine .....
