"I agree. Let him wear the uniform under the cap-gown...then take it off when the ceremonies over."

Unfortunatly that is not an option. The uniform must be worn as issued. Nothing can be added. He cannot wear it under his gown. Flame away if you want, but Marines wear our uniform with the pride and respect it deserves.

oops!
Well I stand corrected. LOL
I thought he might be able to wear the cap and gown over his uniform during the commencement and then take it off.


Well I guess he'll just have to take his uniform with him and put it on after the graduation.

Semper Fi,
Kelly

Sorry, I didn't realize.

In that case, he should be allowed to walk in his uniform.

I'm not going to flame.....I didn't know the rules on wearing the uniform and I don't really have a problem myself...with him wearing it at graduation. It's hard to believe that this issue has not come up before with other schools.
