My Marine graduated on August 31, 2007. My take on Family Day: The morning moto run is definitely worth seeing. Get there early to watch them stretch, etc., pick out your Marine, talk with other...

Hi folks. I must say that I'm sorry to hear that the RCTS don't get their EGA pins on FAmily Day. My son graduated from PI last summer. Watching all the plts get their pins handed to them by their...

As much as I would love to see my son receive his Eagle, Globe, Anchor Pin on family day, I can honestly say giving it to them as they end the Crucible on Saturday is what earning the pin is all...

Well, from what I've read, the idea is that it is more meaningful to them to receive it shortly after they have completed all the requirements, including The Crucible. From my perspective, I'm happy...

So true, Karen. I think either way would be meaningful to those that see it or experience receiving it. It must be so awesome to watch in person with other parents & friends but in reality, its...

I guess I shouldn't have expressed my opinion about the EGA pin. Sorry to open my mouth.

My son graduated 8/17 & I was initially very disappointed that we wouldn't see them receive their EGA, but understood the reason. When we finally did see our new Marine, who normally wants us...

No, ryantmom, I would agree that it was a bit of a disappointment. I didn't even realize until a couple weeks ago that we weren't going to see this so I was disappointed. But now I understand better...

ryantmom, that's your opinion and you're allowed to express it My son's recruiter graduated from SD and he said he got his EGA after the Crucible in SD. So maybe they changed it at PI to be the same...

I agree! Everyone here is certainly entitled to have and express their opinion...we do live in America, after all!! This whole debate about the EGA ceremony is not a big deal for me because I never...

I'm not really trying to jumpstart an old topic, but more brag on my Dad a little bit. Depending on my mood, I could argue either side of the "When is the best time to give the EGA Emblem"...
