When a soldier graduates from basic training, he wears the Army uniform; when a Marine graduates from boot camp, he wears the Marine Corps uniform. Neither uniform includes a sash from the service member's civilian alma mater, nor should it. In similar fashion, a school's cap and gown should be respected as the appropriate uniform for graduation.

That said, SwampSniper, I know you're very proud of your grandson. So am I. Semper Fidelis...

Apple and oranges, they weren’t enlisted yet. Since their recruiter gave them the sashes it seems to be OK with the Army.
