No Military In Graduations
More graduation horror stories, from Indiana [my current location] again: Two marines, yes marines, who just returned from 3 months of basic training to attend their graduation were not allowed to participate in the ceremony because they were wearing their dress blue's under their cap & gown. "They said I either had to take my (jacket) off and put on a shirt and tie or put a tie on my military uniform." Hobbs said he told school officials that neither one would be possible because military personnel can neither wear an incomplete uniform or add anything to it that is not part of the uniform.
