Would it be appropriate to wear my Blues to his graduation? I would not wear them to his family day but I figured it would be good for our parents to see us and my sister who is in the Navy in uniform together ( We have one more sibling and I hope she is smart enough to join the Air Force). Wish we had these pinks and greens already though. <br /><br />Thanks everyoneShould I wear my dress blues to a military graduation?2019-07-13T17:52:55-04:00SPC Private RallyPoint Member4809488<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My brother decided to join the Marines and will be graduating boot camp in September.

Personally, I would wear it. And, you don’t want your sister and the Navy to outshine you.Response by COL David Turk made Jul 13 at 2019 6:27 PM2019-07-13T18:27:36-04:002019-07-13T18:27:36-04:00SSG Dale London4809875<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Coming from a military family, my advice is to wear them. It makes a powerful statement about your brother's ethos and yours. Besides, if you are proud of serving, show it. A military graduation is an emminently appropriate place to be in uniform.Response by SSG Dale London made Jul 13 at 2019 9:39 PM2019-07-13T21:39:45-04:002019-07-13T21:39:45-04:00Sgt Private RallyPoint Member4810226<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="1078724" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/1078724-68w-healthcare-specialist-combat-medic-hhc-1-109-in">SPC Private RallyPoint Member</a> The three of you in uniform will make a great picture.

Graduation from initial entry training is an official military function. Dress uniforms would certainly be appropriate IMO. Just make sure you maintain your customs and courtesies as a ton of SNCOs and Officers are sure to be milling about.<br /><br />Besides, having a picture of three siblings all in uniform together would make for an amazing image! Do it!Response by MSgt Steven Holt, NRP, CCEMT-P made Jul 14 at 2019 3:34 PM2019-07-14T15:34:53-04:002019-07-14T15:34:53-04:00Capt Michael Wilford4820534<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Wear that uniform with pride and represent your branch of service with equal pride; you earned that right! Not only is it appropriate, it is inspirational. if you get a chance, please post a follow up with a picture.Response by Capt Michael Wilford made Jul 17 at 2019 3:14 AM2019-07-17T03:14:42-04:002019-07-17T03:14:42-04:002019-07-13T17:52:55-04:00
