Marines marching for graduation

US Marine Corps Basic Training Graduations

The United States Marine Corps conducts basic training at two locations within the United States. Recruits from west of the Mississippi generally attend training at San Diego. Recruits from east of the Mississippi generally attend training at Parris Island. However, all female recruits attend training at Parris Island. Graduations for US Marine Corps recruits at both locations are conducted weekly. Your Marine recruit will have the most up to date schedule of their graduation.
