I had a somewhat similar situation but not with a uniform. The year was 1976, and the Vietnam War was still fresh in the minds of everyone. I actually signed the papers to join the Marine Corps in 1975 but didn't go to boot camp until after graduation. For the Seniors, we had a book published telling a little about each one of us. Since I had already joined the military, I put Military as my occupational goals. Well, I guess the people who were putting the book together decided to list my goals as "undecided ". I'm sure Vietnam had a big part in that decision. In July of 1996, I retired with 20 years of service. I wonder how many of my fellow seniors accomplished their goals and what impact they had. I'm proud of my service and would do it all over again. Service in the military should be applauded and not degraded. I heard a saying, "It's not that I could, and you couldn't. It's that I did, and you didn't."

That young man is a United States Marine, an accomplishment far above anything Pettit will ever do. Semper Fi!

Principle be gone, and would have been nice if one of the other students would have been able to grab the microphone announce the name for the principle and walk off, that would be standing up for the young man.

I attended HS in my uniform (in 1981) nothing was said. I didn't consider asking to wear it for graduation because I considered my cap and gown to be the uniform of the day. I definitely would have appreciated an acknowledgement of those of us who had contracts already and those about to sign up. That being said, I'm not sure why it was such a big deal to the principal.

It should start with a formal disciplinarian hearing. At the very least a formal apology needs to be made to both the United States Marine Corps and to this Marine Sincerely, Stuart Kissane Chief Master Sergeant USAF retired
