Trevor graduates from basic training on Friday September 17th at Parris Island at 9 am. In one of Trev’s letters he stated that he wanted to hear lots of thunder on the island that day, so with that in mind we would like to get as many as possible to ride to the graduation . For those leaving from Savannah, plan to meet at the clubhouse at 6:30 (I know that is early as shit, but with morning traffic at the base). For everyone not riding in from savannah we will meet at the gate of Parris Island at 7:55, there we will have an MP escort to the parade field.
