PARRIS ISLAND, S.C. — U.S. Naval Community College's president visited Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island November 3, 2022.
President Randi R. Cosentino, Ed.D., served as the parade reviewing official for the graduation ceremony of the 391 Marines of Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion.
“This was a great opportunity to see one of the two commands where Marines are made,” said Cosentino. "The training and education our services provide to develop our warfighters is the critical advantage we maintain over our adversaries and competitors."
During the visit, Cosentino observed the motivational run and family day ceremony on Thursday, November 3, and observed morning colors and the graduation ceremony on Friday, November 4. She also met with the commanding general, Brig. Gen. Walker M. Field, and his senior enlisted leader, Sgt. Maj. Edwin A. Mota, during her visit.
“Our Marines go through an intense and effective training process to prepare for their career in the Marine Corps," said USNCC’s senior enlisted leader, Sgt. Maj. Michael Hensley, who has served one tour as a drill instructor and one tour at Weapons Field Training Battalion at MCRD Parris Island. "The skills they learn going through this training and their following training at MOS school prepare them to be successful in an educational environment like USNCC."
