Important Update: Family Meet & Greet Event Format
We want to share an important update regarding our upcoming Family Meet & Greet.

Effective 8 Jul 2026 with Class 15-26 (Lima Co), new Marines will unfortunately no longer be able to attend the event. We understand this may be disappointing for many families, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding and flexibility.

While this changes part of our recent vision, we are excited to introduce a new social-style format focused on bringing families, friends, and supporters together in a more relaxed and engaging atmosphere. This updated experience will provide opportunities to connect, share stories, build community, and celebrate this important milestone together.

Enjoy a no-host social with the graduating company’s Senior Drill Instructors and staff from 4:00-7:00 PM at the Bay View. Memorabilia, food, and beverages available for purchase.

We remain committed to making this event meaningful, memorable, and enjoyable for everyone attending, and we look forward to welcoming you.

Thank you for your continued support.
