Graduation ceremonies are being put off limits to family members. As for those still in the training pipe....unknown, really. Probably still business as usual.....for the most part.

You know these dirty birds are going to spread that shit the second one of them gets it. If one person in Basic has a cold, everyone does. And I imagine it's even worse with this.

Marine Corps is currently continuing with training as scheduled, they have canceled the 10 day post recruit training leave and are processing directly to follow on training.

My recruiter called me this morning. My date went from 20200331 to sometime in June. Sucks mentally but time to prepare even more.
