The platoon honor man got dress blues when I graduated in 1970.
They were bought by a private organization which was named at the graduation ceremony. The series honor man got some additional money or gift, I forget which. Joe

It was done at MCRD San Diego in June 8th 1979
- Doug "vincent p. norris" wrote in message ... My son-in-law, who was in the Navy about 30 years ago, mentioned at dinner today that the guy who graduated #1in his platoon at Marine boot camp was given a set of blues, free. I think that's an urban legend. It certainly wasn't the case when I went through Parris Island in 1946. Was it done at San Diego? Anyone know? Thanks. vince norris
