Only a small number of amazing individuals can successfully complete the challenging journey of becoming a marine. It all begins with the aptitude test and boot camp, leading to what comes next without fail.
The most committed members of this team will rightly receive a promotion too.
Nevertheless, in a YouTube video watched by over 21 million people, we witnessed a three-year-old promoting a marine for the first time.
Usually, a promotion within the marines is a highly formal event.
Being commissioned as an officer is a highly esteemed privilege for marines, hence it is a ceremony filled with reverence and grace.
In a recent video, the marines displayed their readiness to slightly break the rules in order to uphold another one of their key principles. Relatives. Marine soldiers are ensuring our safety so that our loved ones can stay secure at home.
The video starts off the promotion ceremony just as one would anticipate.
The commanding officer announces the promotion by reading out the official document. The surprise comes later, not right away.
The remaining marines stand at attention, observing.
They are waiting for when the ceremony’s “pinning on” portion occurs. It is the central element, and as one reads on, the emotional tension in the setting steadily escalates.
The document states that we are expressing a high level of trust and confidence in the loyalties and capabilities of Kyle B Carpenter.
I hereby promote this marine to the rank of sergeant in the United States Marine Corps.
The officers greet the new sergeant with a handshake, then invite a special guest to join them in the ceremony.
